COOKOUT this Sunday evening

It is time for a good old fashioned Community get together. This Sunday evening at 6pm on the back porch of our new campus we are having a COOKOUT. Everyone is invited to spend the evening together.

Bring hamburger patties and hotdogs that you can throw on the grill. Also bring the fixings like chips, beans, slaw and desserts. Buns and drinks will be provided by the church. We will also provide ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, cheese, tomato and lettuce.

Pass the word. Get ready for some fun. We will see you first for worship Sunday morning at 10:10am and then at the cookout at 6pm!

ALSO --- we are beginning to collect travel size toiletry items for homeless friends. Bring them through September 2nd.

ALSO --- remember that our REACH ministry provides a free community meal each Saturday evening at 5pm at the Martinsville Hotel. REACH is also putting on a special event at the Martinsville Farmers' market on Saturday, September 13th. Listen for more details.

FINALLY --- pray for our Nicaragua mission team that leaves one week from this Saturday. Pray for Jeannie, Betsy, George, Moriah, China, Megan, Kim, Tracy, Steve, Tina, Carolyn, and Pastor Michael.

See ya Sunday and do something before then to demonstrate the love of God to our community. Have a great weekend!
