May 28, 29, 30 - Carmel Christian Church will be serving the annual Finals Breakfast.  This event not only is appreciated by Carmel High School students, but is also a great way for the church to let the high school students know that we care about them.  To volunteer to assist with this event, contact Joey Crume.

DWM - Dr. Geunhee Yu will visit Carmel Christian Church on Saturday, June 14, 2008 to meet with the Disciples Women's Ministry.  Dr. Yu is the Executive Pastor of North America Pacific/Asian Disciples.  The program will begin at 11 am, with a meal of Korean and American food prepared by DWM members.  Following lunch, Dr. Yu will tell about the large number of Koreans living in this area and about his work in the Disciples Homeland Ministry. 

Supper Six groups will begin in May, with sign-up during April.  These groups will meet monthly for fellowship times together - going out to eat, enjoying potlucks or meeting in homes - to be decided by the members of the group, with individuals or couples taking turns planning the gatherings.  The groups will be composed of individuals and/or couples, to fit members needs.
