News and Notes for Sunday September 11 , 2011

Christian Education Day: Saturday, September 10 at 7:30pm and Sunday, September 11 at 10:30am. The emphasis of the worship services these two days will be on the importance for individuals of all ages to learn and study God’s Word.

Christian Education Picnic: Following the service today there will be a church picnic in the Pavilion. The menu included hotdogs, hamburgers, snacks, and lemonade. A free will offering will be collected. There will be games for the children. Please Come!

Quarterly Congregational Meeting: Our next regular congregational meeting will be today after the picnic. The meeting will be a quick update of congregational affairs.

Hands And Harvest Craft Sale – Are you a handcrafter? How about a friend or family? Our sale will be Saturday, October 15th, 10AM to 3PM. We need vendors!! Tables are available for $15 for the day. Posters are available on the table in the lounge. Take one to hang and help us get the word out!! Rent a table, attend the sale with a friend. Come for lunch. Come for the Chinese Auction. Proceeds will go to the Wounded Warriors Project and to Operation Christmas Child. See Shelly or Karalee for information.

The Hearts and Harvest Craft Festival again offers to re-gift your unused items for the Chinese Auction. For those lovely items that you greeted with the phrase, "You shouldn't have!" and sort of meant it. We need fill, filler and fillers: gift items, hostess gifts, holiday items, shred, tissue, straw, ribbons, pinecones and people. People who love volunteering with other people--they're the luckiest people in the world. There will be a collection box available under the table, and a sign-up sheet on the table, in the lounge, and if you have larger items--don't be afraid to think outside the basket, please contact Karalee, Shelly or Deb Kling.

The Flowers Today are given to the Glory of God by Dave & Jane Pinney on the occasion of their 48th Wedding Anniversary and in remembrance of September 11th.
