3 From Ken Ken s Korner - Ken Reid, Pastor WOW I don t know where to start! God is so good, all the time, but recently the Lord has been pouring out blessings after blessings in our church family. We have welcomed many new members into our fellowship and will celebrate baptism at the lake during our annual church picnic on September 8 th. I hope that everyone is planning to attend our annual picnic. See elsewhere for details about what to bring. We will set up our usual games of horse shoes and corn hole and will have sign-up sheets in the hallway for both in advance. Church Council...

CrossWalk, Awana etc., will continue at the 5:30 p.m. hour. Then following at 6:30 p.m. they are recommending the following emphasis: 1 st Sunday WMU, CARE, Committee Meetings etc. 2 nd Sunday Sunday Singing a variety of music opportunities 3 rd Sunday Family Fellowship with games and interactions 4 th Sunday Missions Emphasis with groups spending 30 minutes sharing their mission and ministry. These new emphasis will begin in October.
