Show-up Sunday and new ministries!

The summer went by incredibly quickly, and here it is September once again. This Sunday, September 13, is "Show-up Sunday" (formerly known as Kick-off Sunday), a time to come together and enjoy being in community again after a summer of travel, outdoor activities, or other commitments. Pastor Betty will invite us to "Rethink Church" - what if church were not a noun, but a verb?

Friday, September 18 will be our fall Game Night, starting at 6pm. Kids, adults, families, singles, couples, everyone is welcome to come and bring your favorite game or just join in with others. Bring your favorite game, a snack to share and $5/child toward child care if you have little ones. Hope to see you there!

Administrative Council will meet Monday, September 21 at 6:30 p.m. Chairs of committees are expected to attend; anyone else interested in the life of the church is welcome.

If you have been saving up some household goods and other items for a yard sale, you are in luck! The church will host a rummage sale on Saturday, September 26, with proceeds to go toward a mission trip being planned for spring/summer 2010. Details coming soon!

Finally, Pastor Kerry will be facilitating a monthly discussion about God called Pastor @ the Pub. All are welcome – including your friends who won’t set foot inside a church building – to come and talk about God, faith, spirituality, the Bible, Jesus, or whatever questions you were told not to ask in Sunday school! You don’t have to commit to coming every month, and it’s okay to just drop in to check it out. First round is Sunday, September 27, 5pm at El Camino on West 32nd Ave. We'll be a group gathering for conversation at one of the tables, not an official event of El Camino. Look for Pastor Kerry and the "Pastor @ the Pub" table tents.
