Brief GNC Meeting

Join us immediately after church today for a short meeting in the auditorium to go over the preparation plans for our outreach event on Saturday.

Canopies & Coolers

We are looking for a bunch of canopies and coolers to use at our outreach event on Saturday. Sign up in the foyer if you can help meet this need.

GNC Photographer Needed

Our Good News Cruise 2021 is Saturday, and we still need a photographer. Each year we take a picture of the drivers and their cars. We then send them a 5×7 picture and a follow up letter inviting them to join us for worship. See Keith if you can help.

Special Missionary Guest

Adam Bailey, our newest missionary, will be visiting our church next weekend to share about his ministry to Tokyo, Japan. He will have a table at the Good News Cruise on Saturday and tell us more about his calling to the missions filed on Sunday during the worship celebration. Please plan now to spend some time getting to know Adam and learn about what the lord is doing in and through him this weekend.

Church Family Pizza Party & Meeting

Our next church family meal is just around to corner! Join us on August 29th after our service for a pizza party! Sign up in the foyer by Wednesday, August 25th so we know how much pizza to order. Then stay for a brief business meeting after the meal.
