Sunday School Kickoff
The program year starts with a special
activity for all ages in the Colonial Room on September 12th. The
children will enjoy breakfast with Rev beginning at 9:30am. This is a family
event! After eating breakfast, the children will report to their classrooms
and the adults will continue breakfast while participating in the How to
Choose a Bible session led by Rev and Betty Davis. Various Bibles and
study materials will be available for viewing.
Smile Train
The Women's Ministry will once again be
collecting your coins for the Smile Train mission. With your help, this
mission provides life changing free cleft surgery and treatment for poor
children. This not only gives these children a new smile, but a new life.
There will be a collection bottle with the Smile Train display in the
Connective, along with decorated cans if you need a container to collect
your change. Collection Sundays will be September 12th and 19th.
Contact Joanne Sater with any questions.
