Hello Church,
We’ve got a couple of big things this week. The first is that tomorrow (Tues) is the last Ark Storytime!! All ages of kids are welcome to come. Invite your grandkids, kids, neighbors, and more to come. Its at 10am tomorrow morning out at the boat. Take a look at the end of the email for some pictures of last week’s Jonah story.
The second thing is that Thursday is the Rural Collab. This is a Conference sponsored event that we’re hosting. There are over 20 folks that will be here to learn and share together. Its not too late to sign-up.
Important Announcements
We’ve got spaces open for the Sharing Table for the month of August! Our table has looked good this Summery. Click on the link to sign-up for a Sunday in August to host the Sharing Table.
Also, in the back of the sanctuary, you can find hard copies of our Council Packet from our last meeting with information about what we talked about, and you can take a look at it online by clicking on the link.
Sign-Ups
There are sign-up sheets in the back for Celebrate Recovery. This includes volunteer leaders for meals for the next six months. There is also a jar for monetary donations.
Finally, we’re looking for folks that would like to serve communion and anyone who would like to help get the bread and the juice ready for communion Sundays. You can sign-up in the back of the Sanctuary, or by clicking here.
Parting Shot [not this week]
Take a look at the end of the email for a great picture of the Sharing Table from Sunday! We had a lot of stuff on it, and not all of it was produce. Come ready throughout the rest of the Summer for more great things on the Sharing Table.
