You have got to save the date of August 2nd, 2009. If you don't, you will have missed out on one of the most exciting events of the year. This is the day that we will close the church and go into the community to BE the church. It's not enough to claim to be a Christ follower and attend church every Sunday. We must look for opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus and show the love of Christ through our service. Want to "go deep" with God? SERVE.Many of you may remember last year when a yellow clad army of approximately 15oo spread out through Holmes, Tuscarawas and neighboring Counties and served our neighbors just because. What a stir it made that a church would close it's doors on a Sunday morning of all days and ask the congregation to take on a project and work instead of worship. But worship we did, through dozens upon dozens of acts of service and kindness.
Beginning Sunday May 10th and running through the 24th, you will have the opportunity to tell us that you will be participating in this years event by filling out a registration form you will find in the weekly and telling us about your skills (or lack of them in my case), abilities and project ideas. Then on June 7, 14 and 21 we will be having project sign-ups in the hallway just inside the South Entrance where you can pick the project you, your family or small group would like to take part in.
Plans are already coming together and the Go '09 Community Impact Day team is hard at work to make this the serving event of the year. You just don't want to miss it. So remember, on August 2nd, The Church is Leaving the Building............
