Tomorrow: Celebration Service & Ministry Fair
Aug 11th, 2007 by bob
On Sun, Aug 12 we will celebrate some of the awesome ways our church engaged our city and the world this summer through a series of international missions trips and local outreach events. We’ll also conduct a ministry fair in our lobby after both morning services. As happens every year, our members get pumped up about what God did to them and through them, and then wonder how to keep that passion and momentum going. Well, this year we have an answer for you!
After each service tomorrow, we will have our lobby filled with ways you can stay engaged throughout the year in Missions, Outreach, or serving right here at church. Below is a list of the opportunities that will be represented in the lobby. If you will not be here next Sunday, or other commitments keep you from the tables, please feel free to email or call the person listed below next to each major ministry.
Also, if you’d like to know how to quickly locate the areas you’re especially interested in, there’s a map in tomorrow’s bulletin. You can preview it here.
