MARK YOUR CALENDAR! “JAM Sunday” will be next Sunday, October 17, with service time at 10:00 a.m.! This will be an uplifting outdoor service in our church park, so bring a lawn chair or a blanket on which to sit. After the jam service, the annual Mexican Pile-on Luncheon will be held in the Fellowship Hall.
MEXICAN PILE-ON LUNCHEON will immediately follow the jam service next Sunday, October 17. This annual fundraiser helps defray the cost of children attending summer church camp. A sign-up sheet has been placed on the table in the narthex for donations of food for the Pile-on. Your help is needed to make this event a success!
CAKES FOR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
With the completion of the stained-glass window project, it is time to address the missing Christmas lights. With the difficulty in finding replacement bulbs, the church council has decided to replace the current lights with more cost efficient (and cooler) LED lights. The estimated cost is $5200 and we already have $3500! We would like to get this finished before Christmas.
Let’s have an old-fashioned cake auction to raise the rest! Following the Mexican Pile On, we will have a lively “Cakes for Christmas Lights” auction led by Jeff Owen, auctioneer extraordinaire. If you have a favorite dessert item to donate, please have it in the Parish Hall kitchen by Sunday morning of the auction. Call LeEster, 512-751-4497, if you have any questions! Thank you!
