Join us as we kick off our new Sunday school year with Rally Day from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7 in Asbury Center. Our theme for Rally Day this year is “Elections.”  Our entire country will be consumed with election fever by September and we are hoping to use that fervor as a vehicle to pump up our enthusiasm about Christian Education!  Don’t be surprised if you are greeted by “pollsters” (children’s Sunday school teachers), “campaign managers” (adult Sunday school coordinators), and are invited to “campaign headquarters” (Sunday school classes).

All children, youth, and adults will gather in Asbury Center, on the church’s lower level, at 9:30a.m.  Parents will be introduced to the Sunday school teachers and will have a chance to see their child’s “campaign headquarters” (Sunday school room).  All adults, including parents, will also have an opportunity to hear presentations regarding adult Sunday school. Join us! All are welcome.

Beginning Sept. 14,  Sunday school classes will meet in the following locations:

Preschool (3 & 4)        Room 307

Mark your calendars! On Thursday, Sept. 25, members of the East German Brass Band will arrive to perform several concerts in our conference. The group will begin their concerts in our church the weekend of Sept. 27 & 28. We will need host families to house 32 people and provide some meals. Host families should plan to provide breakfast on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 & 27, and perhaps on Sunday, Sept. 28. After a planning session in August, the East German Initiative Committee will have specific times and responsibilities for hosts. If you would like to help with housing and/or meals, contact Mary Garber at mgarber1989@aol.com.
