SERVICE PROJECT NIGHT: PAINTING POTTERY BOWLS FOR “EMPTY BOWLS”

THIS SUNDAY… we will travel to a paint studio in High Point called “DISTRACTIONS ART STUDIO” to paint Pottery Bowls for a ministry known as “Empty Bowls” which is designed to address the issue of hunger in our local community. 

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS…THE CHURCH will buy each person a pottery bowl.  You can paint PAINT YOUR BOWL with fun colors and a cute design (it will cost you NOTHING but your own creativity— the bowl, the paint, all the supplies, and the “firing” will be provided) , then we will donate those bowls to our EMPTY BOWLS FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE who will sell them full of tasty SOUP, at a special meal on Friday, March 17YOU CAN EVEN COME TO THE CHURCH AND BUY THE BOWL YOU CREATE ON THAT DAY (if you want)!  All of the money raised will go to local ministries who feed hungry people in our community!

NO SUPPER this week, but there may still be a TREAT involved!!!

We will return by 6:30 PM (Perhaps a little earlier – it depends on how long “Duck Donuts” takes to serve us)!

BRING A FRIEND!

ACOLYTES!!!  HELP!

In case you have never heard the word “ACOLYTE”, an ACOLYTE is the person at the beginning of the worship service that brings in the flame to light the altar candles.  We need some volunteers to light the candles at the 11 AM service!   (the 8:50 AM service does not use Acolytes)  It only takes about 30 minutes to learn how to “ACOLYTE”.  Typically, you sign up for a month (4 Sundays) and then you will be the Acolyte for that month at the 11 AM worship service.  You would need to light the candles at the beginning of the service and put them out at the end.  If this sounds like something you might be interested in, contact Rodney (336) 906-3036 OR Brandy Lambeth (336) 688-6881 for more information!

SMALL GROUP for HIGH SCHOOL & MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS!

These small groups are designed to be different than our Sunday Night Programs.  Instead of events, service, activities or discussing issues, “Small Group” meets simply to share about how your week is going and to have a few people pray for you and your life.  You will in turn get to pray for others and hear about their week as well.

WHAT DO WE DO? When you meet you are asked to share 3 questions: What was the HIGH POINT of your week? What was the LOW POINT of your week? Where did you SEE GOD during the week?

HOW DO I JOIN A SMALL GROUP? Its pretty simple, but it is very meaningful to those who attend and you have an open invitation to just SHOW UP and we will guide you to find the perfect fit for you in a small groupl.

Contact Rodney (336) 906-3036 if you have any questions!  Hope to see you there!
