RALLY
DAYS STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY FAIR - SEPTEMBER 19…
Are you wondering
what a Ministry Fair is? Well, let us tell you.
A Ministry Fair
is an opportunity for the congregation to visit and speak with representatives
of our Creekside ministry teams. Each team will have a booth or
table set up with information showcasing their team’s service
ministry.
Would you like
to be a part of a ministry here at the church but are not sure where
you might fit? The Rally Days Ministry Fair is created to help our
members find that fit by asking questions and speaking with the
members who serve on each team.
To help you
in the process, we will have a Creekside Scavenger Hunt where you
will answer questions pertaining to the teams. On Sunday, September
19, you will be given a card with a list of questions that will
lead you to each team booth. On completion of the card, you will
receive a small gift.
You will have
the opportunity to visit all of these teams during the fellowship
time on Sunday morning. We are excited to have all our members plugged
into ministry at Creekside. Blessings,
FROM
THE FELLOWSHIP TEAM…
Labor Day Sunday
September 5, we will have a brunch after church. There will be no
Sunday School.

Dear Creekside Church Board,

to use it for Room, Board, and other fees, which makes the scholarship
incredibly helpful to my family and I. Creekside is my church home;

RALLY
DAY…
Rally Days is
an exciting time to look forward to Fall with activities and fellowshipping
together. Our children and youth are back to school and family summer
vacations are coming to an end. Our Stewardship Campaign this year
will kick off with Rally Days and a Tailgate End of Summer Picnic
for September 12 for our church family members to attend.
We will begin
the day with Sunday School at 9:30 to 10:15 am and Worship at 10:30
am. (NOTE: we have reversed Worship and Sunday School). One adult
Sunday School class will be held in the Worship Center. Worship
service will be held outside in the parking lot under canopies.
Pastor Tom Clark will provide a special Children’s Story that
will be fun for children as well as adults. Everyone is encouraged
to dress casually for the day.
Lunch will be
served around 12:15 from vehicles circled around canopies located
in the center and where Worship will be held. Tables and chairs
will be placed under the canopies after Worship so you will be able
to eat and be away from any harsh sun. A Hog Roast will be cooked
and brought in and Fellowship Team will provide the meat and a couple
of hot dishes and drink for all. Sunday school classes will provide
finger foods, relishes, salads, vegetable dishes, rolls and desserts
and served from the back of vehicles circled around the canopies.
Activities such
as bean bag toss, ladder toss, four square and adult chalk talk
will be provided for all to participate if they wish. Most importantly,
more time to fellowship and play together.
For anyone who
does not regularly attend a Sunday School Class, please join us
and if you want, bring your favorite dish to share. We look forward
to a fun filled time and everyone participating.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SEPTEMBER 12!!!!!
