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.

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!!!!!
