MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY-We are currently seeking to develop a ministry team in the area of Children's Music. If you enjoy working with children and are musically, dramatically, artistically, or technically inclined, please prayfully consider the following opportunities for service:

Children's Church Weekly Worship--song leadedrs and sound/powerpoint technicians in weekly times of worship during the Children's Church portion of 2nd service (~11:30-11:45). The goal would be to have a rotation of teams once a month.
Special Programs--an as-needed team of various helpers working on seasonal and other special music. Would include working with drama, choir, costuming, set design, hand bell directing, and choreography. There will be an informational meeting on September 30th, from 10:45-11:15 in the Children's Church room. Any questions, contact Shelly Warner at 692.6577 or swarner87@core.com.

JOY OUTING (Senior Adult Ministry)-will be having lunch at Farmer Brown's on October 6th at 11am and then will go to the Bear's Mill Fall Festival.

LIFE GROUPS-If you thought the beginning of the fall would mean the end of our nagging you about LIFE Groups, you were wrong. Seriously, we can’t encourage you enough to experience all the “one anothers” that Scripture describes through this ministry. LIFE Groups are just starting up, and it is not too late to join. Just fill out a green card on the table and return it to the office. We’ll take care of the rest.

SUNSHINE BAG-We encourage you to continue to shower Chris and Stacy Mortensen with love and prayers. There is a bag on the table in the narthex that provides ideas for ways to encourage them. Simply grab a copy of the list attached to the bag, purchase the items and attach an encouragement card, and return to the bag.
