Important Announcements!!!

Four important items to keep in mind as August comes to a close:

1.  On Sunday, August 26th we're going to have a special worship service at Phyllis Kanikkeberg's place.  It'll be a barbecue like we had at the beginning of the summer, so bring side dishes if you wish.  The main course will be considerably more upscale this time though.  John Marone and I will be slow-cooking meat all night long in preparation for this event.  It's going to be succulent, delicious, real BBQ.

For those who don't know, Phyllis lives just a little ways north of the Valley church on Eikum road.  Coming from Genesee, take your first right after the Valley, second house on the left.  Bring lawn chairs and side dishes if you wish.  We'll worship and then eat!

2.  On that same Sunday we'll have a brief orientation for everybody joining the new Confirmation class this year.  It'll be after worship (at Phyllis' place).

3.  This year we're staying at the Valley for a couple extra Sundays in September.  We will worship at the Valley on September 2nd and September 9th.  Worship will remain at 9:30 on those two Sundays.  We will move to St. John's on September 16th.  That will be our opening morning of Sunday School.  Sunday School starts at 9:00 and worship moves to 10:00 on the 16th.

4.  We'd like to clean up St. John's inside and out between September 4th and 9th.  There will be a list of things to do posted in the church.  This includes straightening, dusting, pew scrubbing, and all manner of outside yard work.  Please gather a couple friends and drop by during that week to help prepare our church to be used again.
