AUGUST 17. 2008
PROJECT WORSHIP CHALLENGE.
The end of our pledge time and the day we hope to have collected
the last of the cards from those who are going to offer a card.

AUGUST 18, 2008
CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING, 7:00 p.m. (SANCTUARY) for regular session.
ALL church members are encouraged to attend!

HERE IS WHAT WE ARE PRAYING ABOUT RIGHT NOW
AMONG THE CHURCH LEADERS AND STAFF!  JOIN US PLEASE!


Proposed Sanctuary Renovation Rendering

Overview of Construction and Related Costs:

 

PLEASE JOIN OUR "PROJECT WORSHIP CHALLENGE" PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN!!!!  CLICK HERE TO PRINT OUT PLEDGE CARD! Our Church Council has approved a new remodeling project for the sanctuary which will cost $900,000. We would like for every member to participate if possible at any level (even $200 pledged for three years is something that some of our youth could do). Of course this commitment is over and above our regular offering to the Lord's work through the budget. CALL THE OFFICE FOR A PLEDGE CARD OR PRINT OUT ON-LINE CARD. The WORSHIP CHALLENGE pledge campaign culminates in worship on August 17.

We are praying about
NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS (perhaps two to a class) for kindergarten and first grade, AND 2nd & 3rd grade. Two classes, four teachers, so they can take turns with each other for a month (a teaching team!)

GET VERY EXCITED ABOUT ROUND-UP SUNDAY! The Houghtaling Family Singers will be leading us in worship on August 24 with a selection of Gospel Bluegrass music. In the afternoon we'll have a delicious early supper of fried fish, chicken, and "fixings", PLUS the usual fun games on the courtyard. (You have permission to dress like a cowboy/girl all day Sunday ­ and bring an old fashioned fan!).  WATCH FOR SOME REALLY NEAT POSTERS!

In His great love, Pastor Paul


Looking for an opportunity to grow in the Lord with your Christian Brothers & Sisters in 2008?

Join us the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, at 5:30 p.m. to share a meal and praise our Lord!
Please check our church calendar for the exact dates of each month.


It's time to sign up for the spring edition of Friends, Food & Fellowship -- our dinner program. This is a wonderful excuse to fellowship with each other in small groups and to eat great food at the same time! The FFF groups, which will be made up of different people each month, will meet once a month from September through November. You will be responsible for hosting a meal one time and all of the others in your group that month will contribute part of the meal. For more information please call Judy Henderson at 746-6458 as soon as possible.

Hope you will give FFF a try this Fall -- you'll enjoy it!
