There are several church family nights being planned for this summer!
Church Family Nights or events are a chance for members to meet outside of the usual Sunday morning. It is also a great time to bring friends along or to get to know visitors better. Most of these events are very laid back and informal. We’ll provide food and we’ll have game/activity equipment. For outside events please bring lawn chairs (if you forget, we have some). If you are new to the area or to our church, come to one of these, it is a great chance to meet us and to find out more about what is taught here.
Thursday June 17
Join us on Thursday, June 17th at the McMahon’s (their address in in the member directory). Come anytime between 5:30pm and 9pm. There will be lots do do and to eat! They will have the makings for some pudgie-pies!
Sunday June 27
Come on over to the church Sunday evening, we will be grilling out! First off, we’ll have a short hymn sing inside the church at 4:30pm and get a nifty preview of the coming Psalm book. After that, we will be grilling out. We’ll set out the games and equipment so there will be fun for all ages, even if you just want to sit by the bonfire. Come anytime between 4:30pm and 9pm. In case of bad weather, we will still gather at church to share a meal and watch a movie.
Thursday July 8
Join us for a church family night hosted by the Retzlaffs. They are inviting us to come to the farm starting at 6pm. They will have some barbeque, please bring a dish to pass or food to share. The address to the Retzlaff farm is in the member directory.
Wednesday July 21
Join us for another church family night on the church grounds. Come anytime between 5pm and 9pm for food and fellowship. This will be a great opportunity to invite others to come and connect with our congregation.
Sunday August 1
Come on over for a special hymn sing and social. Starting at 3pm we’ll learn about some of the hymns that will be in the coming hymnal and then sing them. The stories and histories behind some of these hymns are often amazing and encouraging. We’ll also focus on connecting the words of the hymns to God’s Words and promises. After the hymn sing we will have an open forum to talk about and learn about the synod’s Hymnal Project. This event will kick off our ordering new hymnals. If you choose, you can pay for a hymnal for the church, or order one for yourself. There is also a devotion book accompanying the hymnal that you should consider order. After that, there will be a pie social afterwards.
Wednesday August 11 — CANCELLED
Sorry about this, but due to some last minute scheduling issues this event is being cancelled. We might reschedule it for later in the year.
