Be In The Know - July 6, 2017

FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Room Revolution 
Keep an eye out for the Room Revolution Update posters. Pastor Derek is settling in to his new office as is Leann and the rest of the staff. The new infant nursery will be in use this weekend and will continue to see work done to it. The staff and some amazing volunteers have been working hard this week and most of the heavy lifting is portions of the project are done or will soon be. Still to come new looks for the Children & Youth Ministry areas and the Children's Check-in/AWANA Hub. Our goal is still to have the majority of these changes made by the end of July, with finishing touches be completed by the August 5th Night of Worship.

2. What to be more involved?
Then join us for Next Step Connect to learn more about serving opportunities in the church. The Next Step Connect info meetings following both services will be July 23. August 13 will be an info meeting and volunteer training class.   

3. Building Improvement 
The rest rooms across from Pastor Derek's old office are almost done - the team is in the process of putting on the finishing touches. The main part of the project gets underway July 10. 

4. Sanctuary Closes
The Sanctuary will close for construction following services on July 9th so that construction can begin on July 10th. Church services will be in Fellowship Hall while the work is going on.


WORSHIP
Let Us Know...
Please be sure to fill out a Connect Card each week to let us know you were at church and how the staff can be praying for you. If you attend the first service drop it in the offering plate as it goes by. If you attend the second service you can put the Connect Card in the offering boxes at the back of the Sanctuary. You can also sign-up for Wednesday Night Supper that way. For those of you who regularly fill them out - THANK YOU!

Be sure to check the bulletin for the question of the week.

We continue the Summer Jam companion series with a message from Pastor Derek titled Wealth From Holey Roofs that will focus on Mark 2:1-12.
