Rev. Dr. Michelle Moriis
Holiday Road - Destination
Paul finally makes it to Rome, and settles into this place that was meant to be a stop on the road but that became his destination. In the journeys we take, we often find that the end was not in the place where we stopped but in the journey itself, much like a life of faith.
DATES AT A GLANCE
Church Office Closed/Annual Conference - Wednesday-Friday, June 19-21
Sweets in the Suite - Sunday, June 23
Urgent announcements
Spark Good Matching Funds!
We have learned that Walmart is matching associate donations up to $10,000 per individual from June 1-30 up to $1 million. Our church and/or Second Street Pantry can be one of the beneficiaries of your gifts. Please donate ASAP before the funds are depleted!
Donations must be made through the Spark Good Associate platform, and select our church as your choice. Thank you so much for your support of the work we do here in Bentonville.
Office Closed for Annual Conference
Due to our current staff shortage and the number of our people who will be representing our church at the Arkansas Annual Conference meeting (7 altogether), we will close the church office Wednesday through Friday of this week. If you have a group meeting in the church during those days, make sure Pastor Michelle knows so she can program the locks on the doors and the air conditioning appropriately.
Two Staff Positions Open for Interviews
With the departure of Toni Hinrichs, the Staff Parish Relations Committee has decided to restructure office personnel, and we will be hiring a Facilities Manager and a Church Office Accountant. Interviews have already begun, but if you are interested in applying or know someone who is, click these links for the descriptions.

Sound Training June 23
We need more people trained to run our sound boards, so if you have ever been curious about sound design or want to serve your church in this way, there will be a training at 10 a.m. in Hines Hall with Heath Parnell, Assistant Director of Production at the Walmart AMP. Don't miss this incredible opportunity!
Disaster Recovery Needs
We still have people in our congregation/community who need help with recovery. If you want to help and just need to know where to go, let Pastor Michelle know. Also if you can share your regular availability, she can put you in touch with others who have similar availability. If anyone is feeling moved to take over organizing long term recovery efforts, also let Michelle know. And of course if you still need help, get on our list and we will work to get to you as soon as possible.
Disaster Recovery Resources
There is a Benton County Relief Fund that could provide help if you need it, or use support if you want to help others. Check out info at harknwa.com.
We have been declared a federal emergency, so assistance may also be available from FEMA. Call 1-800-621-3362.
Missional Prayer Team meets Noon on Mondays
The Missional Prayer Team has moved their meetings to Mondays at noon in the Parlor, and they invite anyone with a heart for prayer to join them. This team meets for an hour and specifically lifts up the needs of our wider community as we seek to be loving neighbors to those around us, as well as lifts up pressing needs and ministries of our church. If you have any questions, contact Johnna Kosnoff at
