Loving God, Serving Others

Rummage Sale Rumination’s, People!
The long awaited Awana Sale is here… The church is packed with all kinds of books, clothing, chairs, pictures, frames, electronics, toys, strollers, furniture and more. Come on down today or tomorrow and claim your sweet deal. All proceeds go to help Awana clubbers go to camp. I’ve already scored on books and a couple DVDs… and I’m scouring for more.
Family Business…
*That ice cream social after the talent show raised another $375 for Christ Kitchen! Thanks again for giving… AND participating in the talent show. It was fun! (Millie Furgason stole the show).
*We still need cookies! Bake ’em and Bring ’em this Sunday. They grease the ‘hanging out’ skids. 🙂
What’s Goin’ On…
*We’re still looking for a few good weeders to help around the church. If ten will sign up, we can cover it all and you’ll just have a small section to take care of. After we get the bulk of them knocked down, we’ll spread commercial grade landscaping fabric down to deter those little green buggers. That’ll make everyone’s job easier! Sign up in the foyer.
*This Sunday is the last opportunity to sign up for a Sister Group, women hanging out regularly. They go from May to September. Talk to Laurie for more info.
*Memorial Day Camping is on up north next weekend. Call Jeff for more info. I believe it’s a place that doesn’t allow generators… but it’s by LeClerc Creek. Beauteous.
*Calendarize this: we’re doing a new all-church picture on the deck on June 8. Plan to be here and be a part of church posterity. Check out the all-church pics from 2000 and 2011 at the end of the foyer.
*I’m so grateful for you regular prayer folks, whether it’s in your own group, by yourself or at our Monday or Thursday prayer times. This coming week, May 19 & 22, there’ll be NO prayer meetings at the church because Rick and I will be out of town. Jarmer’s will hit the road and Sheild’s will be camping. We’ll try to better coordinate our days off in the future.
This Sunday…
Ace continues at 9 with Kurt upstairs, and Story Hour is downstairs at the same time. In the service, we’ll have all the usual suspects (worship, singing, prayer…) and Rick will speak on Colossians 3. Check it out.
AFTER the service, they’ll be a brief business meeting to vote on the proposed changes to the church constitution. So grab some goodies and head back into the sanctuary.
See you Sunday?
Pastor Rob
p.s. Next Sunday on May 25th during ACE, we will have personal examples of two people in our congregation with the gift of evangelism. Make it a point to join us and hear their stories!
p.p.s. Deep Thots: “Why do we leave cars worth thousands in the driveway and lock up our useless junk in the garage?”
