11:30 am: Usher TrainingTake the time to go downstairs for your coffee, then come back up to the sanctuary for the training. We will begin at 11:30 am. We have several new ushers who will need the entire training. Also, there have been some changes to ushering since we all started together. I will try to go over the new things first, so that current ushers can leave when we begin to discuss established procedures. -Mary Forner.

1:00 pm: SPARK Decorating! We will be decorating the building for SPARK camp 
on Sunday starting at 1:00 pm. All those who have mentioned that they have Kenyan items that would be appropriate for decorating are invited to come by with those items. Please bring only items that are either unbreakable or are replaceable. We definitely do not want to risk breakage of anyone's prized possessions. You are also invited to help with the set up.
