“AT THE TABLE"
Text: Luke 24:31Scripture for Luke 24:31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But he became invisible to them.
John Wesley's Notes-Commentary for Luke 24:31
[31] And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Their eyes were opened — That is, the supernatural cloud was removed: And he vanished - Went away insensibly.
Speaker: Pastor Matt Wilson
9:00am: Classic Service in Ellipse Chapel
10:30am: New Celebration Service in FLC
IN OTHER NEWS FROM SDFC:
Dear wonderful people of SDFC,
Most of you know that I was asked to serve as your pastor for four more years. That is such a generous invitation and a sacred trust. I am humbled by the invitation and honored to accept.
Consequent to that a love offering was taken and your kindness and generosity poured out again. Kay and I received about $4,000. I am speechless. Kay and I are continually blessed by being a part of this church community. We look forward to the coming years and covet your prayers as we continue on this journey at First Church.
Sincerely,
Dee and Kay

WEDDING SHOWER & BBQ for CHARLIE & GRAHAM!
We are thrilled to celebrate this international couple at our post-church BBQ on Sunday, May 7! Charlie Merritt served for years as a senior high volunteer and then joined our church staff before moving to the UK to receive her MA in theology. While there, she met Graham Meiklejohn, a theology professor in Glasgow, Scotland and PhD student. Some of their favorite shared activities are: hiking (preferably with a dog), trying to cook Chinese food, playing Bananagrams in coffee shops, and watching marathons of The West Wing. Charlie will be moving to Scotland before the wedding and to make this trans-Atlantic move easier, you can either:
contribute online to their honeymoon/ moving fund: www.zola.com/registry/charlieandgraham
purchase directly from their Amazon UK registry and select option to ship directly to Graham Meiklejohn: //amzn.eu/hCYpmzJ
