Next Sunday, the 23rd, will be a big Sunday outside of worship. We're delivering our third Good Neighbor Welcome Basket to neighbors just down the street. We invite you to bring homemade items for the basket to help us welcome our third new family in the neighborhood!
Next Sunday is also the first Confirmation class of the new year. Sunday School gets going with their first official lesson of the year. We could use a couple people to help share stories about their jobs/calling with the kids, so talk to me or a friendly Sunday School teacher if you can assist for a Sunday!
Sunday the 30th is our Rock 'n Roll Sunday! I think this is going to blow your socks off...or at least get your toes tapping even if they're still covered. Weather permitting, we'll have service in the courtyard grass between the church and the parsonage so bring lawn chairs. We're going to barbecue one last time so side dishes would be appreciated. Most of all the service is going to be full of music talking about our beliefs and who we are as a church. It will be a great reminder for those of us familiar with our faith and a great chance for newer folks to find out more about our faith story. (And eat that BBQ!)
Following the big worship-a-palooza we will begin our final session of the Evangelism Workshops we've been running all year. We'll try to be time-conscious, knowing that some of you will have been here since Sunday School, but we couldn't really push the workshop later in the day or later in the year without losing people. It's going to be an especially appropriate experience given the energy of the morning. If you haven't been to an Evangelism Workshop yet, do come.
We'll look forward to these and plenty other exciting Sundays to come!
