Ready for MORE Fun & Games?

Last week’s Gathering was such a success that we’ve decided to do it again!

This Thursday (June 16) there will be indoor and outdoor games (if it rains the “outdoor” games will be in the Fellowship Hall) and then a time of visioning, planning and sharing ideas together (led by Pastor Sam).

OR, you may choose to keep on playing and enjoying fellowship with each other.

AND, we will again close with a prayer circle and maybe even sing a song.

OH, and did we mention ice cream?

 

Thursday, June 16

7:00    Indoor and Outdoor Games

7:30   Refreshments and Fellowship

7:35   Guided Discussion (visioning and sharing ideas) or more games!

8:00   Prayer Circle

What do “fun and games” and “Southern Province Synod update” have in common?
 
Well, they will both be part of this Thursday’s Gathering!
 
At 7:00 p.m. there will be outdoor games and refreshments out on the lawn near the Banquet Room portico and board games inside in the lobby. Then, at 7:30 p.m., you can choose to keep on playing OR go inside and hear an update on our recent Southern Province Synod (resolutions that were passed; election results; decisions that were made, etc.).
 
We will conclude the evening with an outdoor prayer circle, asking God’s blessing on our congregation and our Province.
