ENGAGE ONE ANOTHER

Calling All Grads!

Is someone from your family graduating this June? Please let the church office know names, where they are graduating from and their future plans as soon as possible so we can include them in our recognition of graduates.

Thanks!

Traveling Tables and Game Night Groups

In December I started organizing groups of individuals who wanted to get together for dinners and/or for a game night. I was out of the office from January to late March so everything was put on hold. I'm just starting to get back to that project and find some of our congregation who had volunteered to be leaders last year have had life changes to the point they could not host a dinner or game night at this time. I'm looking for people who would be willing to be a host or hostess to either of these groups. I still have the signup sheets so we have people who wanted to attend but no one to coordinate the first meetings. I have enough people for at least 2 Game Night groups and 2-3 Home Dinner groups. Would you like to be involved? You would need to be able to seat at least 7-8 people. It's actually a great time to start because we have great weather and you could host something unique in the park or the back yard of the church. Please contact me. I'd be happy to help you get started. Doreen 541-671-8399
