September 13 - Hey everyone! 
We're gearing up for an amazing yard sale this September, and we need your enthusiasm and support! Last year, Lori set the bar sky-high with her incredible yard sale, but unfortunately, she can't take the lead this time due to some health issues. We've already gathered a fantastic selection of items, but we need YOUR help to make this event a success! Whether you can assist with set-up, lend a hand during the sale, or help with clean-up, every bit of support counts! If you're ready to join in the fun, please reach out to Pastor Carl. Let's come together and make this yard sale unforgettable! 
Thank you!
Starting Monday, we'll be diving into some sorting and prepping for an action-packed Saturday. The real hustle will kick off from Wednesday to Friday, and I would love your support to make it all happen! Fingers crossed for great weather to join in on the fun! If you can lend a hand, please reach out to me today, or contact the church office, and they’ll connect us. My biggest concern is what will happen after the sale and the cleanup. We need people to help load and then deliver goods to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. This will run from noon to about 2 pm. A huge thank you in advance!
Attention everyone: Rally Day for our youth is next Sunday, September 14, and your presence at the coffee fellowship is essential! This is a crucial opportunity to demonstrate your support and gain insight into our curriculum. Don’t miss out—come and engage with us! Let’s make this a memorable event!
