  1. Back to Church Sunday & Church Picnic – Sunday, September 19 is Back to Church Sunday. As part of Who’s Your One, please prayerfully consider who you would like to invite to church. Following the worship service there will be a church picnic outside on the lawn.
    Here are a few quick reminders for Back to Church Sunday:

    1. We will not be having Sunday School during the 9:00 AM hour so we can set up for the church picnic. If you can come during that time, your help would be greatly appreciated!
    2. In preparation for the 19th, we are seeking volunteers to help in a few key areas: Welcome Center, Children’s Church, Nursery, Picnic set-up, Picnic tear-down, and Guest follow-up. Sign up in the Foyer.
    3. What to bring:
      • Lawn chair/s or a blanket to sit on
      • If your last name begins with A-L, please bring a dessert. If your last name begins with M-Z, please bring a side dish. The church will provide burgers and brats, as well as drinks, plates, utensils, etc.
          
  2. Church Cleaning Day – There will be a church cleaning day on Saturday, September 18 from 8:30 AM-12:30 PM. Come and help get the church building and grounds ready for Back to Church Sunday. Lunch will be served. Please sign up in the Foyer so we can plan how many lunches to make. Contact Pastor Bill if you have questions.
