Worship Evening

Back to our trusty portable. It has been a while since we have spent quality time at the portable, so Friday is the night. We will be having an evening of worship music lead by our special guest Doug Hiebert. See you at church at 7:30. Or come at 7:00 for prayer! Rides can pick you up at 10:30 at Sheila Loewen's house (10 Elden St. - right beside the church). See you Friday!

Potluck - Round 2

It's that time again....POTLUCK time!! Sooo...get your chef's hats on...and think up some ideas! This Friday, we are going to Wes and Briar Wiens' home for our second potluck of the year. Now...you outdid yourselves last time, so it will be hard to beat our last spread, but I'm sure we can at least match it. So...again, everyone needs to bring a dish for about 6-8 people. NO NUTS!!!!! Ideas are below in case you're stuck. We are meeting at the Wiens' at 7:00. Rides can pick you up there at 10-10:30. Wes and Briar live at 327 Line 4, NOTL. Call if you need a ride! Also, bring games to play in the evening.

Ideas....last time we had lots of desserts and main dishes, so lets try again to have a good amount of both.

Possible Dishes

- fruit
- veggies
- meatballs (Justine?)
- hashbrowns (or some sort of casserole)
- nacho dip
- cheese and crackers
- dips
- rice
- chicken wings
- cooked veggies
- soup
- cabbage rolls
- meat buns
- chilli
- shrimp (mmmm....that went over well!)
- salad (fruit salad, green salad, caesar, bean salad, cucumber salad)

- desserts (i know you have great dessert ideas, but just a reminder that i love CHEESECAKE and SKOR TRIFLE!)

Message or email everyone to say what you are bringing. This should be good!

See you tomorrow for book study, or Friday!

Friday

Ok, so things are switched up a bit this week. We are going to the Southridge Homeless Shelter to serve a meal and check out how things are done over there. We need to be there at 5:45 so we all need to meet at church at 5:00. I repeat 5:00!!!! Let us know if you can't make it by then, and we'll meet up with you in St. Catharines, or figure something out!

While we're there, we'll be preparing, serving and cleaning up dinner, and eating with some of the residents at the shelter. Afterwards, someone that works at the shelter will be telling us some more info about the shelter. We'll come back to the church and be here until 9:00. Rides can pick you up then.

See you Friday! (and tonight for book study! 7:00)

PS. anyone who can drive, please bring your vehicles!!! We'll need as many as we can get!

Shoebox Shopping!!!

It's almost that time again! Yep, you guessed it, Friday.


This Friday we will be heading to the mall (that is the Pen Centre), to put together shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. There will be a twist as to the 'rules' of the shopping and what to get, and how much to spend!

Everyone needs to bring $5.00. We hope you are all ok with this, as designating it as a donation to the organization. If you want to know more about it, or have never done a shoebox, check out www.samaritanspurse.org. If the money is a problem, let us know, but don't let that stop you from coming and help shop!

Please be at the church at 7:30 SHARP! We'll be leaving right away (no later than 7:45)! Rides can pick you up at Nate Voogts house at 11:00. (directions to follow).

See you soon!
