June 16, 2024Let’s Revitalize, Milliken!

¹³ This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. ¹⁶ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. -1 John 4:13-16

Wave Reloaded Community Event – Saturday, July 13, 2024

Save The Date! Milliken will be hosting  “Wave Reloaded” on Saturday, July 13, 2024 .  This is a Community Connection Event that will be spearheaded by  our  Generation Now Group (our children, youth and young adults).
Thank you to all who signed up last Sunday! We are still looking for volunteers, especially our youth, to help and prepare for this event.   If you are interested in volunteering Our Planning team will gladly

Last week, we announced that our donation drive starts this Sunday, and we appreciate any support you can give.  Donations can be given in a few ways:

• Submit your Donation by envelope with your full name and address or full name and envelope number.  Then write “WAVE YOUTH” in the section “Other” on your envelope, and place it in the offering basket.

• Submit your donation to a WAVE Youth volunteer helper.  Today’s volunteer is Joshua Ngai (Encourage him to stand and wave).   He will be stationed at the sanctuary doors after service so find him and give your gift there.

• Give your donation online at www.millikenchurch.org/give. Select the option “Other” and type in “Wave Youth” and the funds will be allocated accordingly if you would like to sign up as a volunteer.

Lead “Family” Open Invitation

As the year, unbelievably, comes to a close, we need a new round of Leading “Families” for our Family Sundays. As you might have noticed, we are looking for family units, meaning you may not have to be related by blood, but by association, also. Even if you have participated before, we welcome your participation. Please contact Pastor Stephen to let him know your availability so that we can plan for 2024.

First Series for 2024: Revitalization

We encourage our families to go further for 2024 in revitalizing our faith, our families, and our church. Visit our Revitalization Resource Page at https://millikenchurch.org/revitalization-resources/

Worship Arts Team – We Want Your Help!

Have you been looking for a way to serve?  Our Worship Arts team needs you!  We are looking for servant leaders who are willing to serve on our Sunday Morning Worship  and Audio Visual Teams.  If you have the ability to sing, play an instrument (any instrument), or would like to learn how to serve in the Sound booth to learn various skills including sound board training, video/camera operation and working with Worship Tools to present words and scripture on the screen for worship service, please see Pastor Aza or Brother Chris.

Here are 3 reasons why you should join:

1. A place to develop your gifts and be equipped to serve.
2. Wonderful team of believers who support each other and pray for each other.
3. Youth Alert! If you are looking to gain credits toward your volunteer service, this is a great way for you to earn those credits!
