Our Annual Celebration Service will be on Sunday Oct. 29, 10:30 a.m. at Vedder Middle Schooll. ACS booklets are now available at the INFO. table and here on our website (2016-2017 ACS Reports) for you to preview our reports, our financials for the last ministry year, our 2017-2018 proposed budget. Please take the time to read the booklet. If you have any questions — forward them to the Leadership Team. We will not be handling questions live at the ACS—but the Leadership Team (LT) invites them by Oct. 25 so that we can give them thoughtful time, attention and response. The ACS is a very special service. It is a look back and face forward service: a remembering and a celebrating of what God has done this ministry year and a looking forward to what we will do with Him in our next ministry year. It is LT’s belief that as much as our weekly offering is an act of worship—so too, is what we do with that offering: to pay for the spaces where we work and worship together and do life together, to support our staff, and to do ministry together—all of it: worship! So—the ACS will be a time of sharing stories of our with-God life and a time for 2 affirmations and our new budget. SOUPER SUNDAY will follow the Annual Celebration Service! Please bring a crock pot of soup, a casserole, stew or chili and stay for LUNCH! The Connections Team will provide beverages and buns!
