Brainstorming Meeting…We Need Your Input
We are looking for a few hungry creative people to come together and brainstorm/share ideas to help us plan our Fall Harvest Soup/Sandwich/Dessert Supper! It is on the church calendar for Wednesday, October 12th, a little over 3 months away. If you have some great soup recipes, some good ideas for what goes with a warm bowl of soup, a sandwich and dessert, or simply love to eat, we would love to have you come and help us plan the details of this event. We will be meeting on Wednesday, July 6th at 6:30 PM in Fellowship Hall. If you like, bring your favorite soup recipes and any other great ideas, or just come and help us plan our first annual Fall Harvest Soup Supper! We would love to have your input and expertise! Questions? Call Cheri @ church 336-1649 or 330-6668.
Action Group for Communications and Marketing
We need to enhance our marketing and communications with our members, visitors, and the general public. We will work with the staff on the web site and other internet possibilities, coordinate bulletin covers with a sermon series, and make greater use of our electronic message board. There is a need to increase the attendance at the second service and let people know of the opportunity to attend a contemporary worship service.
