All Church Picnic …
Sunday, September 7 …
following 9 a.m. worship
The Board of Elders has suspended the traditional Ice Cream Social for now, and has been
planning an All Church Picnic for Sunday, September 7, following our 9 a.m. worship. This is the
Sunday after Labor Day. Therefore, worship will be at 9 a.m. for one more Sunday than has been
our latest tradition.
The picnic itself will be a potluck meal served inside (Bohnsack Hall) with the option of eating
indoors or outside. Dessert will be provided: Ice Cream Sundaes.
There will be many activities for all age groups following our meal. Sally Stocks, Sabrina Sellnow,
and Erica Rowoldt will be planning children’s games and relays. We are working on obtaining a
dunk tank (Pastor Barb has already volunteered to sit above the tank and let people take their
chances on dunking her!) There will be cards, puzzles, and games for adults – or the opportunity to
sit and chat with one another.
We are inviting members of the near-by Moravian congregations to join us: Ebenezer, Lake Mills,
London, and Mamre.
Please mark this on your calendar now so the date doesn’t slip away. Sunday School, as well as
the fall/winter/spring worship schedule, will begin the following week: 8 and 10:15 a.m. worship, with
Sunday School at 9 a.m.
