Festival Choir and Bell Choir

We are looking for additional members for these choirs!

“Ringers” Needed

Allison is looking for people who would like to be part of the bell choir that will play one Sunday in Advent and at the 10:00 pm service on Christmas Eve.  Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm. Please let Allison know immediately if you would like to be a part of this group.

 

Festival Choir

The choir is looking for additional singers to join our ranks for the 10:00 pm service on Christmas Eve.  If you would like to join the choir, to indeed make beautiful music, please let Allison Carlson know.  The first rehearsal will be held on Nov. 30th after the worship service.   We will also rehearse on Sunday, Dec. 7, 14 and 21 after the worship.  The rehearsals will last for 15-20 minutes and will be held in the choir room next to the Spirit Center.

Corn Maze Trip

After the party on October 26th, all youth, kindergarten through senior high school, will head off to “pick” their way through the Corn Maze adventure.

Children and Youth Ministry

Corn Maze Visit

After the party on October 26th, all youth, kindergarten through senior high school, will head off to “pick” their way through the Corn Maze adventure. There will be an “ear”-ful of  details coming soon, but for now mark your calendar. Erin and Kristi will be “fielding” all your questions, providing much more than a “kernel” of information. They will be leading the group, and probably coming up with more puns to groan at.

By the way:

Why didn’t anyone laugh at the farmer’s jokes?

Because they were too “CORNY!”  

October Social Ministry Opportunities

Highway cleanup and Hambright Elementary

Highway Clean Up

Twice a year we do our part in the community to keep Running Pump Road looking clean. The fall highway clean-up day has been set for Saturday, October 11. We will meet at 7 a.m. in the lower parking lot to get organized and then head out to pick up litter along the road. The morning goes by quickly, especially with several hands working together.

Hambright Elementary School

Our ongoing support of the students and family in poverty at the Hambright Elementary School continues. We keep in touch with the school counselors and social workers and strive to support them through our affiliation with Kathryn’s Kloset in Baltimore, from which we have been able to donate cleaning supplies and laundry detergent.

And just before Thanksgiving, we will again receive the tags for Christmas gifts for some of their students in need. Look for those tags right before Thanksgiving.
