Summerfest 2008
It’s here! We're having lots of fun during our Summerfest 2008. We just celebrated Heritage Sunday where many members wore things related to their heritage. One wore moccasins, another wore green for her Irish heritage. Lots of folks got into the act. Some wore blue jeans because of their Oklahoma influence. Lonnie wore coveralls and a straw hat to show his Georgia upbringing. We celebrated many different heritages on that day. English, German, Norwegian, Italian, and lots more. On Sunday, June 29th, we had our patriotic service honoring God who gave us this great land in which to live and our country.
July 6th we will celebrate Christmas in July noting the gifts we bring more than the gifts we receive. On the 13th of July we will have a representative of the Gideons give us an update on their projects. The 13th is also friendship day and we are hoping lots of folks bring friends neighbors and relatives. July the 20th we are having a whacky tie day. We are inviting men and women alike to wear a funny, goofy, or ugly tie to church and we will give prizes to the winners. The 27th is Ladies Hat Day and again prizes will be awarded to winners in a couple of categories.
We are midway through our Sermon Series about getting healthy using the Beatitudes. We just finished up VBS where both children and adults learned about serving Jesus, our families, friends, neighbors and community.. It's been a great summer already and it isn't even half over yet. Requests for favorite hymns are pouring in and we are honoring those requests each Sunday during worship.
The church picnic was fun even though rain threatened to dampen people spirits. The children did some songs from their VBS, Doug and Sula did their famous Hot Dog cooking and some folks brought delicious home made ice cream. See, we've done a lot but there is more to come!
It all adds up to fun, fellowship, mission and worship woven together to make this a most excellent Summer for our congregation. It began in June and continues right on through Labor Day. This summer, plan to be here with us, make this your church home! Invite friends, neighbors, and relatives to come and join in the fun and adventure which promises some great things.
Seeking, sharing and serving others in Christ with you,
Pastor Mark
