What is Happening This Week

8/10- 8/16/15

Hello Church!

This Saturday, August 15, you are invited to help with our church-wide Work Day from 9 am to Noon. Please join us as we prepare the building and grounds before our BIG celebration on Sunday.

BIG Sunday

August 16th marks the beginning of many great activities happening here at church. We are going to have great music and worship, adult classes, promotion Sunday for youth and children, Third Grade Bible Presentations, a School Supplies Drive, a Curriculum Fair and the kick-off to so many opportunities for all of us to learn and serve this fall. We will top the day off with a church-wide potluck celebration at noon. Our Journeymen will be providing grilled burgers and hotdogs, our choir will bring water and chips, and we will have a “Homemade Ice Cream Contest” organized by our Service Station Teams. Please bring your favorite side dish so we can have great day of food, music, family and church celebration!

Join us!

Pastor Carol
