July 23Announcements
#1) Potluck at Upper Tuthill Park
There is no evening service on July 30th. Instead, we are having a potluck at Upper Tuthill Park at6pm. This is an excellent time to grow together as a family of disciples. Tableware will be provided, but everyone is asked to bring an entreeto share, as well as a side based on your last name (A-K = Dessert, L-Z = Salad/Appetizer).
#2) Backpacks for CRU
Thank you to everyone who signed up to fill a backpack providing school supplies for inner city youth through Cru’s ministry in Minneapolis. All the backpacks have been signed up for! However, you can still help by providing financial support. Each backpack cost the church $8. If you would like to help with that cost, please make a check out to the church with “backpacks” written on the memo line and put it in the church offering. You can also be in prayer as these backpacks are distributed by churches throughout the Minneapolis area in late August; pray for the gospel to reach many families through this outreach.
#3) Women’s Gathering / Fellowship Night
Thursday, August 3 at 7:00 pm. Invite a friend and join us for a short program, fellowship and connection. Bring a sweet or savory goody to share – no peanuts please. No sign up needed. If you have questions contact Mary Lynne at (612) 209-0578 or . We look forward to having you join us!
Allergy Notice
Due to severe peanut allergies in our congregation, we can absolutely have NO peanut products in our building. This applies to any day of the week and for any activity you may be attending in our building.
We have attendees with fragrance allergies. We have designated the first six rows of the left section of our sanctuary (as you look at the stage) for them. If you wear fragrances, we would appreciate you avoiding that area.
