TODAY WFPC WILL BE RECEIVING THE PENTECOST OFFERING sponsored by the PCUSA. The offering is shared among three ministries: Young Adult Volunteers, Ministries for Youth, and Child Advocacy. Ministries for youth include the Presbyterian Youth Triennium meeting which is being held this year. Genie Richards from our church will be going this summer to this conference at Purdue University. Ministries for Youth also sponsors a youth book club and a web devotional series. Child Advocacy includes several programs for children at risk. 40% of the offering stays at WFPC to be donated as we wish to a program with similar goals. Suggestions for organizations or programs can be placed in the Mission and Outreach box in the office suite.

NOMINATIONS FOR ELDERS AND DEACONS-The Officer Nominating Committee is asking for your help in suggesting members of WFPC whom you believe may be called to serve as elders and deacons beginning in 2014. Brochures will be made available in the Sunday bulletin, in the Narthex, and online through the Leaflets and the website, (www.wakeforestpres.org). The brochure gives a description of the qualities that provide a good background for possible candidates. We hope you will think about members whom you know and suggest one or more. You do not need the permission of the individual to nominate them.  The deadline for nominations is today, May 19. Nominations may be placed in one of two marked boxes in the CLC and Narthex, placed in the offering plate or handed to a committee member. Additionally they may be emailed to the following address: onc2013@yahoo.com.

WFPC RUN CLUB-May 20 the Wake Forest Rotary is sponsoring a 5K race.  Let's show our community support with lots of WFPC participants!  If you would like the camaraderie with fellow church members on a few group runs please contact Dan Gregory (cdgreg2@gmail.com - 919-559-6020).  Tentative plans are two group runs each week, most likely Wednesday evening and Saturday morning until race day.   All skill levels are welcome and you don't have to attend every run.  We especially welcome want-to-be runners that need a little motivation to get started.  There will be plenty of support and encouragement.

PARENTS OF ALL GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS-Please submit the following information so that your graduate can be recognized in our June 9 worship bulletin. For students graduating from High School: Name, Parents' Names, High School and Post-High School Plans (either name of college attending, military enlistment or career pursuing). For students graduating from College: Name, Parents' Names, College, Major and whether they are graduating with honors. All submissions must be emailed to Amy Donahoo at amydonahoo@wakeforestpres.org by June 1.
