David & Louise Weber, Phil & Peggy Warren, and Tom & CeeCee Kuretich have already volunteered to be on the committee. Ideas, equipment, supplies & labor are all welcome. The more the merrier!
Worship Schedule Change Begins September 5
Following attendance at the “How to Get More Members for Your Church” workshop by some of our leaders, our Worship Committee, in consultation with the Church Council, decided to make some changes in our worship schedule, on a trial basis.
8:30 a.m. – 9:20 a.m. Traditional Service
9:30 a.m. – 10:20 a.m. Christian Education
Classes, Fellowship, Pastoral Care
10:30 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. Contemporary Service
The reason for the changes is to offer relevant worship to those outside the church that we are not currently reaching. The purpose is to meet the needs of others, rather than focus on our own needs. The primary change that you will notice is that we are flipping the order of the worship styles we currently employ, and we are intentionally offering an hour of educational opportunities and member care between the services.
Winter Warm-Up
September 25 from 1-4 p.m. will be the Winter Warm-Up clothes giveaway for this year. It will be held in Fellowship Hall of Grace United Methodist Church.
