Church news and upcoming events

Folks – hope your day is going well!  I have really been enjoying the last few weeks at church!  It’s been fun to see spontaneity in our worship.  I want us to be encouraged in our faith.

 

Take a look at some of the things happening soon!

 

Tomorrow –

We will be having our quarterly business meeting at 6:00pm, followed by a Pie & Ice Cream fellowship – We’re asking that people bring their favorite pie to share (we’ll provide the ice cream).  I’m going to make one of my favorites – banana cream! 

 

At the business meeting, we will be hearing updates from our ministry leaders and hear a report from the missions committee concerning new policies and the directive issued to them by the congregation at the Annual meeting.  All groups will be meeting at the church. 

 

After the fellowship, we will have a group meeting to determine the Church Camping Trip for this Summer.  All those interested please come!  We will be going either the 2^nd or 3^rd week in July.

 

Next week –

Britton School will be offering a FREE food handler’s class (to get a food handler’s license) on Wed. April 30^th from 8:30 – 10:30am.  This license is required by the state if you want to work in preparing food for public consumption.  It is good for two years.  If you are interested, please let me know so I get you registered.

 

I will be gone Thursday – Saturday to help with the Britton High School Band (I’m Band Booster President) as they will be travelling to Muskegon for State Festivals (Thursday) and to Chicago for a performance (Friday - Saturday).  I will be home in time to preach on Sunday (please pray for safe travel!)

 

Coming Weeks –

On Sunday evening, May 18^th, we will be hosting the Baccalaureate Services at Britton Public Schools.  We will be in charge of providing the program, skits, music and snacks.  We will need help from some of you to make this happen.  Most of the families of the seniors will be attending this service, so it’s a great opportunity to reach out to the community.  If you can help, please let me know.

 

On Memorial Day, the C.E. Committee is planning to build a float in the parade to advertise our VBS June 16^th – 20^th.  We will need people to help for that.  Speaking of VBS, we will also need people to assist with that.

 

On Saturday, June 21^st, we’re going to have a huge “Family Day” at our church with a tent, Bar-B-Q, Fun Family Activities, Talent Show and an Evening Concert with the vocal group “Carried Away”.  This will be a BIG Community Event.  We are going to need people to participate, set up, sign up and generally help out to make this successful.  Again, it’s a great opportunity to reach out to our community and have fun together as a church family.

 

Bottom Line:  There are LOTS of things going on at Bethel!  We need your support, your money and your involvement to make them successful – Are you willing?

 

See you tomorrow!
