Events
PENTECOST
May 16, 2015 By
On Sunday, May 24 we celebrate and remember the coming of the Holy Spirit. This very special day in the church year is also known as the birthday of the church, because this day commemorates when the disciples went out, spoke in tongues, and told the Good News of Jesus Christ. People believed, lives were transformed and the church was born. The Rev. Carol Oetzel will be leading us in worship on this sacred day. Everyone is invited to WEAR RED as we invite the Holy Spirit to enter our lives and transform us.
Bible Study
April 22, 2015 By
Wednesday morning Bible Study with Pastor Roe will continue with the book of Romans. The group meets Wednesdays 10:30AM – 12:00N. Our current session is scheduled for April 22 through May 20. Please read Romans 1:1-17 for our first class.
RAFFLEMANIA
April 18, 2015 By
Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 Time: 6-8 p.m. Doors open at 5:15
A fun evening is in store as we raise money for our children to attend church camp. If you have never attended a Quarter Auction, here’s the gist: It is like an auction…and like bingo! If you wish to bid, you will donate $1 for a numbered paddle. A matching numbered disc will be placed into a bin. Each item up for bid will be displayed for all guests to see. Guests will give their bid (raffle tickets worth a quarter purchased upon arrival) and hold up their numbered paddle. When all bids are collected, the auctioneer will draw a numbered chip from the container to determine the winner. Once we have a winner, all chips will be placed back into the container and go to the next item to be auctioned. Still confused? – See our committee chairs: Charlotte Steele, Ginger Alley, and Karen Powers.
How can you help?
1. Donate items for the concession stand. Sign up on the sheet in the narthex.
2. Donate a new item to be auctioned: theme basket, bath and body products, home or kitchen items, etc. A list of possible items will soon be on an insert in your worship bulletin.
3. Attend the auction and participate! IT IS FUN!
