Be the Church Day!
Coming up on September 13th is your chance to
Be The Church!!!!
On September 13th, morning worship will be canceled for you to be the church in our community. What does this mean? It means that your task for September 13th is to find a way of not just going to church, but being the church. Below you will find a list of groups that you can be involved in, or you can come up with your own, but this day will be dedicated to being the church to our community. Please sign-up for how you will be the church on September 13th.
Being the Church Groups:
- Laundromat Lenders - This group will spend the morning at the Laundromat on Main Street meeting the people there, handing out water and quarters, and building relationships as much as possible with the people that wander in. (3-4 People)
- Legion Team - This group will travel to the Legion to wash the cars of all the veterans, clean their building, and possibly be involved in repair work at the Legion or at the homes of one of our veterans. (8-12 People)
- Ice Cream Socialers - This group will travel to Orchard Estates, set up a tent and then give out as much ice cream, water, and popsicles as possible to whoever is there. (4-8 People)
- Gift Basket Deliverers - This team will put together gift baskets for the Legion, Fire Departments, Police Department, and Ambulance Service and the deliver the goods to them. (4-5 People and 2 Drivers)
- Casserole Cookers - This team will plan to put 8 casseroles together to freeze for Pines of Peace and then make salads for our free lunch. Sign-up at sign-up Central for the ingredients you can bring. (5-6 People)
