Room Closets, Storage Closets, Storage Areas – everything must be sorted through! Unwanted items can be temporarily put in room 11 (next to the women’s bathroom by Springer Chapel). Items to be left in main storage areas should be clearly marked with either owner’s name or the ministry’s name. Treasure Fest will take place on the following Sundays (7/29, 8/1 & 8/8) where everyone will have a chance to go through the unwanted items!

Did you happen to see that we updated the projector?  Wow!  Well now we’re in need of a few more projector techs to help run the
display!  You need to be good with a computer and familiar with the songs we sing on Sunday mornings. We’ll provide you with one-on-one training so that you’re fully equipped for the job. If you’re interested, circle “P” on your connect card or give the office a call!

EXCITING OPPORTUNITY! July 8-14 Our very own Jr. High will be serving this church and community! However, at this point, we are still in great need of more adult help. So if you have your clearances, please prayerfully consider joining us for any part of a day that week. Contact Pastor Luke ASAP!
