Mrs. Chelsea is excited about our Caravan Year and all that she and the leaders have planned.  Thanks to all who have committed to help with this year's program.  We are still in need of at least one (1) individual to work with our 6th grade class.  Caravan Ministry runs September-May.

 

It's QUIZ Time!

 

Children's Bible Quizzing is for children in grades 1-3 (red level) led by Christina Gunter along with Susan Andrews, and grades 4-6 (blue level) led by Lynn Regan

 and Brooke Regan.  This year our children will be learning the books of 1st and 2nd Samuel.  

 

Quizzers meet each Sunday at 5:00 beginning September 11 and going through March 4.  We have three quiz meets which are held at 10:00 am at the District Campground in Batesburg.  The dates for this year's meets are Nov 5, Feb 4 and Mar 4.  (no conflicts with basketball or soccer)

 

Please sign up in KidsWay or simply show up on September 11.  This is also World Quiz Year.  Blue Level Quizzers will have the opportunity to qualify to quiz with kids from all over the world in Indianapolis in June 2017.


Got Junk?

Got unwanted items laying around?  Our bi-annual yard sale will be October 15th.  We will once again be partnering with Women's Ministries.  Here's how it works...
(1) you rent an inside or outside space (includes advertising in 3 local publications); (2) bring your unwanted stash; and (3) you keep the cash!

Please see Barbara Richardson to rent spaces.  Inside spaces are $25 and include 3 tables.  Outside spaces are $15, no tables provided.
