To avoid meeting during Labor Day Weekend, we will celebrate the testimonies of two members of the laity the evening of Sept. 8th at our Sing ‘n Celebrate Worship Service.
There is no better time than now to reserve this date for hearing their personal stories related to the only decisions that really matter – where they will spend eternity.

CASTING GOD’S LOVE FOR DEPLOYED MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS
Love to knit or crochet? Have a heart for our military service members?
Please pick up some yarn in the basket near the coat racks and make a hand made scarf for holiday care packages going out via Operation Gratitude.
Crochet and knit patterns provided as a handout near the basket. Feel free to attach a tag with encouraging words or your email address.
Finished Items will be collected at the end of October. Questions? Contact Kay Creel or Priscilla Van Steelant.

We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests.
It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!
