Upcoming Events and Items of Interest:

Coming this week:
YES, WE’RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS THIS SABBATH!! We got our power back Tuesday night and the church office has been operating as per usual. Hopefully by Sabbath, all of you will have your electricity back as well...it’s been quite the adventure!

Choir Members: The new choir season will begin with rehearsals on September 19 at 7:00p.m. and your first performance on Sabbath the 20th. We are seeking new members and ask that anyone interested in joining the choir call George Gibbs at 848-8654 or Carolyn Sowards at 882-0705. Please remember to return all sheet music.

Coming in the weeks ahead:
Outdoor Church at Sharon Woods Metro Park, September 27 beginning at 10:00am. Shelters are first-come-first-served so we can’t be specific about which shelter we’ll be in but just drive around and listen for the heavenly trumpet! Of course it wouldn’t be an Adventist event without a potluck, so plan to bring your favorite casserole to share.

Families of Kindergarten & Primary Kids: You are invited to a Corn Roast at the Wallace home, 10615 Laguna Circle, Plain City, 43064. Saturday Sept. 27, 6:00pm. Please bring a dish to share and the hot dog of your choice for grilling. Also bring your lawn chairs and roasting sticks if you have them. Provided: drinks, paper products, buns, condiments and corn. R.S.V.P. to wbwallace1@aol.com or 614-543-1319.
