Lawn Chair Worship & Picnic

As we prepare for our last church picnic of 2011, it reminds us that the warm weather season is almost over. Praise the Lord for the change of seasons.

On Sunday, September 11^th, we will bring our lawn chairs and worship under the trees. Since it will be the 10^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, our service will revolve around our remembrance of that tragic event.

Immediately after worship, we will have our last picnic of the year, play some games and watch the Browns begin their 2011 campaign.

This is an excellent opportunity to invite others to join us. We will extend an invitation to

all the families that participated in VBS, but YOU could extend a warm invitation, as well.

Have You Considered Sunday School?

In the fall, we like to encourage every member of our spiritual family to give Sunday School a chance. Beginning Sunday, September 18^th, we will have discussion and activity classes for all ages.

All young people’s classes meet at Olmsted Community Center (OCC) and begin at 9:30 a.m.

There are 2 adult classes. One meets at the church office at 9:15 a.m. and they are working through the book of Joel. The other meets at OCC at 9:30 a.m. and they are enjoying the book of Revelation.

Here are some reasons to consider Sunday School:

          You are already coming for worship, why not double your fellowship/instruction

          You will grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18)

          You will strengthen your relationships with people in your class

          You will have opportunities to pray for 1 another and for the worship service

          You will deepen your hunger and thirst for God and His Word

          You will have an opportunity to make some lunch plans for after worship

          You will share some smiles and laughter together (we all need that)
