The New 2U sale is ongoing in the Fellowship hall (hey, no prices
on anything – only donations), the Glory Box has returned, a
handful of weddings, Advent in July and a new model for meetings
has been launched. All in all we have not missed a beat this
summer even in regards to attendance and giving! Thanks to all!
Let’s commit to keep up the pace in August…….

All of this activity was launched by the first ever, MISSION
SUNDAY, on June 27th. I wanted to follow up with an over view of
our work and activity in the hopes it will inspire us to do it again
even bigger and better. Below is the list of the projects
accomplished and how many workers it involved. They do not
include the previous work done prior to the event such as
mowing, trimming, and prepping the projects for the work day.

No Limits!
There were 80+ people who participated in Mission Sunday in one
way or another. I am sorry if I overlooked a project or left
something/someone out – not intentional. I wanted to share the
results of that day’s work as a testimony to stepping out of the box
and thinking beyond what we accept and define as “the church”.
The day was brought to a conclusion at 5:00pm that evening with a
dish to pass dinner. This certainly was a time of coming together,
bonding by a common experience and focusing on what it really
means to be The Body of Christ! Well done!
