The Big Game!

This summer our church has two softball teams, and this Sunday, August 1st, they are scheduled to play against each other! It'll be a lot of fun, and if you've thought about coming to watch us play, this is the perfect week for it!

The game is at 6:00 p.m. and should be over by about 7:15. It will be played at Dancer Park, field #10 (the field in the far back corner of the park). The weather forecast looks pleasant, and it would be fun to see you there!

Play ball!

On our web site's Sermons, Etc page you'll find our last two sermons by guest speakers Gerry Clark and Rich Bryson. Gerry preached about Contentment on July 18th, while Rich brought a message about worship the following Sunday.

In addition, we recorded our New Hope band rendition of Revelation Song, which followed Rich's sermon.

Enjoy!

Church Picnic!

We are looking forward to seeing each of you this Sunday (July 11th) and spending a little time with you at our Independence Day picnic/potluck. This is a chance to fellowship and enjoy getting to know each other in a way we cannot on Sundays at church.

We will meet right after church at Joe Dancer Park in the area under the trees immediately to the right as soon as you enter the park (corner of Brooks St. and 3 Mile Lane). We are happy to point out that this year it is even more accessible than before with an enlarged parking area that provides entrance to the our picnic area across an easily-traversed bridge. (Of course, for those of us who can navigate more easily, we will park a little farther away so as to give the seniors and the physically-challenged among us the best parking we can. Making a food and chairs drop-off on the way is a good idea)!

If you cannot think what to bring, the following is a suggestion to follow, but do not feel locked into this if your specialty is in another area: if you have a last name starting with A-L, bring a main dish and salad. If your last name begins with M-Z, bring a main dish and dessert.

One more suggestion: please bring lawn chairs as there is no seating. See you Sunday at church and then at the picnic! Can't wait!

God's Gifts to Us

The last two sermons by Gerry Clark are now available online. Gerry is in the midst of a four-part series of messages on some of God's Gifts to Us. On June 27 he described the gift of "Being Ordinary" and on July 4 about "Service." You can hear these messages and more on our downloads page at our website!
