Online Church Directory Update: Our church uses an online church directory app which is a great tool. We are asking everyone to help us update it over the next few weeks. There will be a hard copy draft in the foyer and we ask that each family has someone check their information, make any changes, and initial by it. You can also see which photo we have for you. Please send any updated photos to robin.deane21@gmail.com. If you are a regular attender and want to be added, please put your information on the blank pages. If you have not been using the app and need help getting started, please see Robin.

10th Anniversary Celebration November 4th
This year instead of our fall Harvest Festival community outreach event we are having a Celebration of our church’s 10th anniversary on Saturday, November 4 from 11am-3pm. This event is for all members, regular attenders, their extended families, and other special guests. We do need an accurate count for food planning so please RSVP for your family and any additional guests you wish to bring. You may RSVP via the link in the invitation email sent to you or sign up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board at church.
We will have a meal from 12:00-2:00 and video and praise/sing session from 2:00-3:00. We will have a buffet style meal. Meat, rolls, paper products, condiments, cake and coffee and tea will be provided. Volunteers are needed to bring sides.
There are several other volunteer needs as well:
We need folding chairs for the Anniversary Celebration. We have collected about half of the chairs we need, so if you are able to help by loaning chairs for the Anniversary Celebration, please contact Maria Ettema at rmettema@verizon.net as soon as you are able. We also need 7 rectangular folding tables (like the ones we use for the fellowship meals). If you have folding tables to loan for the day of the celebration, please email Maria Ettema. Be sure to put your name on the bottom of chairs or tables you loan.
We need 12-packs of soda and water for the Anniversary Celebration. There are also several volunteer needs. Please sign up if you are able on the signup sheets on the bulletin board.
Please see the signup sheets on the bulletin board for ways you can help! Speak to Gina Powell if you have any questions.
