Mission Work for Our Local Community!

august 2018

New this year!  Mission work for our local community!

Darryl Miller, Missions Chair, is asking that if anyone needs any work done around their home, or knows of someone who does, and either cannot do it themselves or cannot afford to do it themselves, to see him or sign up on the Volunteer Jobs wanted poster in the Wesley Hall.   Darryl is coordinating work crews around the community to help in completing small maintenance jobs for our congregation and community.

So if you have leaves to be raked, windows to be washed, carpet to be torn up, a house washed or any other home maintenance issue please give him or the church a call so that we can work together for God’s glory!

Messy Church! 2nd Wednesdays

june-18-1

June 13, July 11, Aug. 8 – 

On June 13 we will begin a new thing: Messy Church!  Messy Church is a monthly intergenerational, Christ-centered, hospitable, and creative event that will be an alternative to our traditional VBS.. Messy Church begins with a community meal and includes a worship time and creativity time.

Messy Church will meet monthly on the 2nd Wednesday night (June 13July 11, and August 8).  In order to make Messy Church a reality, we need your prayers and, if you are able bodied, your hands to help.  Each month we need food preparers and clean up helpers (talk to Sandy Paul) and folks to help facilitate the creative time (we still need a creativity coordinator).

The entire event will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room from 6:00pm until 7:30pm.

We have invited our neighbors, the families of Seminole Academy, to come and be a part of Messy Church.  Our goal is to spread God’s love through the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are either unchurched, de-churched, or simply looking for a change to the routine of church

Come and join us for Messy Church!!

See the sign-up sheet on the Library Window or talk to Rev. Alicea.
