Upcoming Events and Items of Interest:

Coming this week:
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.

Coming in the weeks ahead:
Get to know your church elders. Our elders are hosting an Ice Cream Social on October 4 at 7:00p.m. and would love for you to join them! There will be fun games, prizes and lots of good treats. The cost of attending?...your favorite flavor of ice cream or a yummy topping.

If you get a call from one of our intelligent, adorable WAA students, please consider purchasing new or renewing old magazine subscriptions through them. This fundraiser will begin mid October.

Our Mother’s Room, located on the second floor, is a private place for mothers to go and take care of the needs of their baby. The room could use an additional glider/rocker and playpen. If you have one of these items and would be interested in donating, please call the church office, 885-7812.
