CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT PAINTING PROJECT

The Children’s Ministry team has been working hard to spruce up the rooms on the children’s floor to give it an updated feel. One of the ways we are doing this is by painting the rooms. So far, we have painted two rooms, the Baby nursery and the Toddler room. They look AWESOME! Take a peek the next time you are at the church.

A third is being prepared to be painted and PDO will paint a fourth which leaves us with two rooms. To finish up our Painting Project we are asking other groups to consider taking a room. Paint supplies will be provided, we are just looking for workers. We have found that about 3-5 people make a good team and the rooms need about two coats.

If you have a group that would like to help us finish this project by committing to paint a room, please click here to contact Jennifer for more details.

Brown Food Pantry is in need of toiletries for our clients. Specifically, we need:

Share Your Ideas/Suggestions

 The Let’s Grow Worship Task Force wants to hear from you. The Summer Worship Schedule has been scheduled intentionally for a period of 10 weeks. This gives us time to experience it but it also means that it is not set in stone. Please give us your thoughts and ideas. Some things to think about include: What brings you to worship when you come? What speaks to you in each service? What makes it hard/easy for you to be here? What about this schedule is hard/easy? What about this worship style speaks/does not speak to you?  You can email any thoughts/reflections to Pastor Laura at [email protected] or we have also developed an on-line information gathering survey. Click here to get to the survey http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07eff053qqjhj4yvhq/a00eji4usemb/greeting
