Today...

• Here at the Church - Summer Campfire @ 6 pm hosted by Dave and Beth Maurer. Bring a dish to share and lawn chairs. Come and enjoy a night of fellowship with us! In the event of rain it will move indoors.

Campfire & Testimonies: Wednesday, September 10, we will have a campfire at the church with Testimonies from Ruth Osborne, Scott Kingsley and Peggy Voelker. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for potluck @ 6 pm. More details to come.

Elders' Quarterly Update: The elders have placed a quarterly update in mailboxes. Please be sure to grab your copy and take a look at what they have been working at.

Youth Coordinator Search: Given Pastor Bill's resignation at Pigeon River to serve St. Paul's Global Methodist Church in Elkton starting in September, the leadership team is beginning a search process for a part time, stipend youth coordinator. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, a job description is available upon request from the office. Please direct any questions or suggestions to Pastor Dave or one of the elders. 

Are you or someone you know grieving the loss of a loved one? Consider attending GriefShare. This 13-week series will begin at noon on September 2 and will be held each Tuesday until November 25. Pick up a flyer at the Welcome Center and contact Marie to register.

The Back to School Carnival will be Wednesday, September 3, from 5-7 p.m. at the church. We will be needing many volunteers to run the carnival games; there will be a sign-up form at the Welcome Desk if you would like to sign up to work during the carnival. There will also be a sign-up form at the Welcome Desk if you would like to bring some desserts for the cake walk at the carnival. Also, we are hoping to have some bigger carnival prizes for the children again this year and will be accepting donations of these prizes (examples include things like basketballs, footballs, super soakers, remote control cars, etc.). We will need these prizes by Sunday, August 31st; there will be a table in the foyer for these donations. If you have any questions, please contact Jenna Maust.

Donate: You can mail in your donation or use our online giving portal at One Church. You can also check out how easy it is to send a text message to give. Simply text the word "GIVE" and your amount to (833)428-2181. If you would like to schedule direct deposit donations, please contact Darrel Yoder. We appreciate your generosity and flexibility.
