The party is in the Fellowship Hall on July 12 th. from 2:00-6:00 p.m. A fun time will be had by all! Happy Birthday Caylin! Run for God We are attempting to begin a running program for the church body. We intend to meet once a week to run together, with a suggested schedule for running three other times throughout the week on our own. The distance increases over 12 weeks, culminating with the Oct. 4 th Apple Festival 5K. There is mileage given to help you prepare to run a 5K (3.1 miles), 10K (6.2), or Half Marathon (13.1 miles). If you are interested in this program, please contact Andrew Weeks. This is slated to begin next week, July 13.

7 Apple Festival Booth Though we are just now to summer, it is time to begin thinking about the Apple Festival. We need a volunteer willing to coordinate the Chicken-N-Noodle church booth. All the documents necessary are available as computer files, including manuals with instructions. This person will be responsible for coordinating volunteers to staff the booth, work in the kitchen, and donate supplies. Each slot needed is already on paper, the volunteer forms just need to be passed out as we near October. If you are willing to coordinate or would like more information, please contact Brenda Nichols in the church office at This is a one-time commitment, and when the festival is over, the job is done. Pastor Away Ron Riggs will be joining us August 10 th. while Pastor Nathan is out of town.
