2. Hurricane Harvey Relief
This Sunday, September 3rd we will be conducting a clothing drive and taking a special collection that will be sent to Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. The goal is to fill the back of Pastor Derek's pick-up with cloths and we will be passing mud boots to take the special offering in both services. If you need or want to write a check for this please note SPECIAL GIFT in the memo. If you would like to give online we have added a SPECIAL GIFTS section. All clothes and funds will be sent to an American Baptist Church appointed by the ABC Southern Region. Want to see more check out this video https://youtu.be/VgzBpGBXBiA
3. Sign-Up Genius Coming Soon
We will soon be asking all of parents, along with our children's ministry volunteers to help cover our second hour child care. We will be asking everyone to pick one (1) Sunday a quarter that they can serve in our Nursery, Tots & Tikes area care for infant through preschool age children during the second service. We will be using an online tool called Sign-up Genius for this. You can sign up and it will send you reminders as well. Be watching your email for an invitation.
4. Congregational Discussions
Starting with each Thursday during the month of September from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. This first set of discussions will focus on the topic of whether or not it is appropriate to display the American Flag in the Sanctuary. A brief survey will be taken at both services this Sunday to determine which of three neutral locations the flag should be displayed at while these discussions take place.
