SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, 2024
(4 – 6 PM)

THIS SUNDAY… YOUTH COUNCIL ELECTIONS & ICE CREAM

THIS SUNDAY…We will elect a NEW Youth Council for 2024-2025!   Our YOUTH COUNCIL meets a few times a year for planning events, activities, & Sunday Nights!!!  We are always looking for FRESH, NEW ideas for FUN outings, PROGRAM topics, and SERVICE projects!   The Adult Council also works together with, and seeks the advice guidance of the Youth Council for various Youth Ministry policy changes as needed during the year.  A member of the Youth Council will also represent the Youth at Church Council Meetings!

You do not have to be present to run, but you MUST be present to VOTE!  If you cannot be here, but would like to nominate yourself for a position, please contact RODNEY before Sunday at 4 PM (336) 906-3036!

PLEASE NOTE: There are DEFINITELY limitations and pitfalls of an election process of this kind!  Often smart, dynamic, creative people are not always utilized in the ways they should, AND there are ONLY 3 ELECTED positions CERTAINLY, we have more than 3 valuable, much needed leaders, SO…even if you are not “elected”… if you feel like you want to serve on the Youth Council, please contact Rodney for more information about how you can be involved!!!  There is ALWAYS room for new ideas!

Bring a friend and stuff the ballot box!

There will ALSO be a “sweet treat” involved (no money needed), so don’t miss out!!!

SEE YOU THERE!

NEXT SUNDAY: AUGUST 18

BARGAIN TREASURES SET UP! (TIME: TBD)

Next week we need EVERYONE to help bring donated “TREASURES” into the gym for our BIG ANNUAL YARD SALE!!!  You will get a chance to see all of the sale items before the sale, so make sure you are there!

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!

SUNDAY SCHOOL!!!

NO SUNDAY SCHOOL THIS WEEK!  we will resume July7!

SUNDAYS!!! 10 AM YOUTH ROOM! (Upstairs in the Christian Enrichment Center) Join us for a discussion-based Sunday School Lesson!  No Bible knowledge necessary – Let’s learn together!  Bring a friend!

SMALL GROUP for HIGH SCHOOL & MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS!

SMALL GROUPS WILL MEET AWAY FROM THE CHURCH DURING THE SUMMER.  Please refer to the weekly text messages for location!

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!
