ALL teams get to keep their puzzles after the event. Pre-registration is required. Only 20 teams will be able to participate. The cost is $40 per team, due at time of registration.

Pick up a delicious made-to-order sub at any of their locations when you don’t feel like cooking or need a lunch for work! You have a choice of at least 7 varieties of sandwiches available on a sub roll, bread or wrap. Please see Carol Kennedy in the office to purchase your certificates.

For children age 3 years (who are potty-trained) through 4th grade. We are using Deep Blue One Room Sunday School curriculum. Children will be given the opportunity to bring an offering at the beginning of Junior Church that they can place in a “piggy bank.” Parents, please sign your child in before the Worship Service. Each child and parent will be assigned a badge with a matching number. Children will begin the service in the sanctuary and be dismissed to Junior Church after the Children’s Time Message. Junior Church takes place in the Elementary Classroom in the Education Wing during Worship (3rd classroom in the Education Wing hallway). After worship, parents are asked to sign children out at a station directly outside the classroom—and are asked to wait outside the class until their child is brought to them.

What does Servant Saturday mean? From small tasks to large, we ask everyone to give extra to the world around them that day. As Christians, we are to give of our time, talents, treasures and service continually. But sometimes we get entangled with the world around us and the giving falls to the background. We are asking everyone to give of themselves consciously on Servant Saturday. This is usually the first Saturday of the month. Here is a list of ideas for serving!

Maybe you can give of your time, even a few hours, to volunteer at a local animal shelter. Or, it could be, using your talents to help build a home with Impact Ministries or Habitat for Humanity. Perhaps you dig into your wallet to donate money for a shelter for abused women and youth or a pre-school in South Africa. You may find that spending time in prayer for others or fasting is the best use of your talents. There are many ways to help the world in which we live--locally or globally.
