Update and news for Sunday

Hey all – hope you’re day is going well. 

 

I wanted to let you know that we had a good first night at AWANA on Wednesday.  I think I counted 12 kids who were in attendance (two new families, too!).  We had a lot of fun getting to know them and making them feel comfortable.  We had nine workers/helpers.  So thanks to those who came.  We need you to invite kids to come and to bring your own kids!  We also need people willing to help.  See Jim Stewart for details.

 

We also had 17 Jr high kids that came for JV Awana youth group and had 8 helpers.  That’s a pretty good group!  I appreciate Sam McCarty’s leadership in that group and those who come to assist him – you’re awesome!  Also, we had 12 high school kids out for youth group on Sunday evening.  Thanks to Marty & Susie Billau for opening their home to us!

 

We have a little problem, though.  We have depleted our Awana budget and need to purchase supplies and books.  Would you please consider giving some extra in the offering over the next couple of weeks?  We need about $150 to buy books and supplies (some of that will be reimbursed by the kids who buy the books).  Your assistance will be appreciated!  Mark your gift “Awana”.

 

This Sunday, we are going to be visited by a missionary.  Elizabeth Bowman is going to the country of Chili (in South America) and will be sharing with us during Sunday School and present a brief testimony in the Church service.  She will also be with our Jr. Church kids during their worship time, and with the high school group in the evening.  There will be a special offering taken for her ministry.  We need a family to host her for lunch on Sunday.  If you can help, let me know.  Missionaries are great people to have your kids/grandkids exposed to!

 

Also – the High School youth group has challenged the College-age group to a volleyball match on Sunday evening at 7:00pm at the Britton Park Volleyball Pit (behind the school).  Everyone is invited to come and watch!  We’ll have fun together.  Bring your chair and bug spray!

 

See you Sunday!
