BIBLE STUDIES
- {Update} Titus 2 Group Signups | { Sign-Up in the foyer after morning service}
More than a Bible study, Titus 2 is a chance for all ladies (aged 18+) to build relationships in a small group setting by sharing a meal, studying God’s word, and enjoying fellowship and prayer. Groups meet once a month in a mentor’s home, and a variety of locations, days, and times will be available. Please note that a daytime study is available (with childcare, if needed) as well. Sessions begin in September or October (depending on the group) and meet for seven months. This year’s study will be: “That You May Know: A Study of 1 John.” Contact: Karen Melnick - Care Group Signups
Care groups begin during the week of September 14. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be in a weekly intentional, cross-generational fellowship with other members of our covenant community. Care groups provide us the opportunity to think together as we focus on God’s written word. They also allow us to walk alongside one another in grace. Watch for signups in the bulletin. Questions? Contact the church office.

SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
- Meals Needed for Mangus Family
As Nancy continues to recover from her surgery, would you consider blessing their family with a meal? Diabetic-friendly meals for 3 would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Joy for the sign-up, if able to provide a meal. Contact: Joy O’Toole - Sunday School Teachers & Assistants
Many opportunities are available as Promotion Sunday (August 30) is around the corner! Please prayerfully consider teaching or assisting. This weekly commitment might only involve 50 minutes of interaction (9-9:50 am) with these little ones, but, the Lord certainly uses those precious minutes to build up kingdom leaders. Contact: Laurie Burrows
- Junior Worship Teachers Needed | Once-a-Month Rotation {August 30-May}
Junior Worship provides children aged 3-4 the opportunity to hear God’s word and worship together at their level. Children attend Junior Worship from about 10:35 (after the offering) through the end of the service. Junior Worship is meant to model the worship service: there is singing, prayer requests + prayer time, and a short bible lesson + uncomplicated craft. Four teams (each consisting of 2 adults+1 pre-teen helper) each serve once a month. Many resources are available for crafts, lessons, etc. Questions? Ask Laurie! Contact: Laurie Burrows - Pioneer Girls Teachers & Substitutes Needed
Many teachers and assistants are needed! See image below for idea of how YOU can help, as able. Please prayerfully consider being a light to these girls ranging from PreK – 9th grade! Contact: Dorinda McConnell or Sharon Leaman

A deep-cleaning maintenance schedule has been created. We suggest during the first week of the month, 2-3 people get together to clean & organize the kitchen.
