Annual Meeting Notice
The annual meeting of Piedmont Community Church will be held Sunday, June 11 in the Sanctuary immediately following worship.

Choir Sunday will mark the premiere of The Image, a newly-commissioned piece by Stephen Main. Scored for choir, soloists and chamber orchestra - and with texts written by Stephen - this full-length cantata explores the theological concept of the Imago Dei (the “Image of God”) in which humankind is made and the role it plays in Western history.
With contrasting sections of dark imagery and shimmering ecstasy, this piece is meant to be thought-provoking as well as deeply inspiring.
This one-time performance will be offered in the context of our 10am worship service.
| Steve Schibsted preaches. Church member Zookie Todd leads our worship. Scott Kail provides pastoral prayer and assists Schibsted with the baptism of Colin Lee, child of Al Lee and Sarah Pae. Music by Stephen Main, Tina Harrington, the Chancel Choir and Handbell Ensemble. |

Life Groups meet weekly from 7-8:15pm Thursdays through May 25 in various rooms at the church. If you have been participating in a Life Group, you’ll be in the same one you were in before. If you’re rejoining, or joining for the first time, welcome!
Life Groups consist of 6-8 people who gather to support and pray for one another, to study scripture, and to share their own experience in light of topics brought up in the previous week’s sermon. In addition, you can come for a potluck dinner held from 6:15 to 7pm at the church before Life Groups start. Each week, an RSVP link will be sent regarding dinner.

Whether or not you’ve ever studied the Bible before, you’re invited to a weekly online study led by Don Ashburn. Each Monday from 10 - 11am, a group of 8-12 people get together to study scripture in light of their own lives.

The pauses between the words gives us all a chance to find our breath and focus on quieting our minds.
Come and be encouraged by each other to find a way inside through meditation. We will stretch a bit to prepare and then sit in silence. In gratitude for taking time for ourselves, we are better at caring for others.
Join Stephen Main and Sara Hirsch on Tuesdays at 5:30pm in the Sanctuary for Just Breathe; no RSVP required.
