Communication
is always a key to any relationship. At the church we are always
working on ways to improve
our communication with one another. In
the sermon last week, we talked about the importance
of prayer and staying connected with God.
Prayer changes us.
Our attitudes and our desires change because of our communication with
God. His grace flows through us and into
our hearts which makes the whole world look different. A lack of
communication with God turns our hearts and minds towards the negatives
in
life and we dwell on that which seems
helpless. Pastor Karen |

4th
Annual Ice Cream Festival
Saturday,
August 21, 2010
Attention, Church Family! We
have had to set a new date for the Ice Cream Festival.
Mark your calendars for August 21, 2-5
PM. Help is needed in all areas and
I’m asking each of you to
prayerfully consider how you
might
help. If you have musical talent, now is
the time to honor the Lord with your gifts. We’re
having a car show and a tractor show, so if either
of these events
spark your interest, share what you have with the community. This is a big event that showcases our love
for the community and our love of Jesus. Please
find the area you feel most comfortable in and
volunteer.
In the Sanctuary this year, we
will be showcasing the different
collections each of you
have. Do you have a Boyd’s Bear
collection? Maybe you have an old Barbie
collection. If you
have ever helped decorate our Sanctuary
in the past, please consider your collection a necessary part of the
festival.
No collection is too large or too small.
Please fill out a volunteer form and return it to Tina
Plank or to the basket on the Missions and Opportunities Table. A sign up sheet for donations is on the
bulletin board.
Set up for the festival will be Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning. If you would like to
be in the Parade, line-up begins at 12:30 at the church.
The Parade begins at 1:00. Music
and games take place from 2:00 until
5:00 PM.
We will be walking the neighborhoods the week before the
festival to personally hand out invitations. I
will be soliciting help for this at that time. Local
advertisements are being made, as well. Thank you, Musicians Needed! Share your
musical talent
with the community at the Ice Cream Festival on August 21, 2010.
Solos,
duets and ensembles with kids, youth or adults are welcome. Please call
me at
765-689-7508, 765-461-1051or email janemarquis@lightbound.com. Thank you, |
