This luncheon this month is hosted by the Outreach Committee with the special assistance of Ray Cessna. They are serving hamburgers and hotdogs cooked on the grill.Ministry Fair & Rally Day
Ray Cesna had offered to grill hamburgers and hot dogs this Sunday for the covered dish luncheon. The Outreach Committee, which is hosting the luncheon, agreed with this idea. While all favorite prepared foods are welcomed, the congregation is encouraged to bring picnic related dishes. Hot dogs, hamburgers, buns and related condiments will be provided.
In conjunction with our covered-dish luncheon, we will be having our fall kick-off with a ministry fair. There will be tables set up around Worsham Hall with displays by the various committees and ministries at Good Shepherd. This will provide an opportunity for everyone to learn about all the activities and ministries of the church, and perhaps to sign-up to participate in one or more of them.Lectionary for the Week of September 8, 2008
