So this is it! 

This Sunday, September 13, we will have one service.  It starts at 10 a.m. and we plan on having 90 minutes together to worship and hear what God has for us this year.  As I am writing this, the tent is up out back and we just finished setting up the chairs.  The rain continues to hold off and the forecast is for a sunny day on Sunday. 

So here are the points to remember:
• Dress for the weather and I will emphasize the word “casual.”  Please put on your walking shoes as it all happens outside this week.
• We will have LOTS of people to help you park.  Since that is the biggest logistical issue we face this week, PLEASE be patient and follow the instructions of the parkers.  We have a lot of vehicles to park with a limited amount of permanent and temporary spaces that need to be filled in an orderly manner.
• The check-in for all children FOURTH GRADE AND YOUNGER will be in the front of the sanctuary.  Please enter the front doors of the building if you are bringing children in that age bracket.  All children and youth above fourth grade will join you under the tent out back. 
Now that you know the specifics, please join us in praying for the weekend.
• Pray for a great time of worship.
• Pray for the Word of God and the Spirit of God to speak clearly to us.
• Pray for the health of dozens of volunteers and staff that have responsibilities on that day.
• Pray that this is only the beginning of a memorable year in serving our Lord.
• Pray for great weather!

For so many of you that are volunteering to make this possible, I thank you!  I especially thank the Children’s Ministry volunteers as they are sacrificing their time with us under the tent in order to be with our kids on Sunday morning.  God sees!

See you this Sunday.
