September 8 will be a day to celebrate the children of the church going back to school. We begin the day by blessing the backpacks during the 9 AM and 11 AM services. Then, the whole church is invited to join us for a hotdog cookout in front of the Mission Center. (We will have some tables set up inside the Mission Center if you would prefer to eat inside.) We will also have a homemade ice cream contest (details below), pack Blessing Bags for the teachers at Oakhurst, and there will be a big waterslide in the field. This will be a fun day for everyone and we hope all ages will join us at “the Bash!”

ICE CREAM CONTEST: To enter your homemade ice cream in the contest for the September 8 Bash, email Elaine Cobb HERE to get your super-secret entry number. Please label your disposable container “Ice Cream Contest with your number on it and with a detailed ingredients list. If you have a special name for your ice cream, please include that as well. Place your entry in the kitchen freezer during normal church hours from Tuesday, September 3 through Sunday morning on September 8.
