Young Adult Dinner
Sunday, September 3 | 11:15am | Young adults - Sunday dinners are back. They will usually be the first Sunday of the month this year. Invite your friends, roommates, and countrymen.
Two Services
Sunday, September 10 | Due to growth and growth to come, we are splitting into two services. They will be at 9am and 10:30am. Wondering about your kids? Exactly the same, except two different services and you have to pick your kids up after each service. No children's programming between services.
Journey Groups
Sunday, September 10 | Journey Groups will be back for the Fall session the week of September 10 (why yes, that is the same day we go to two services.) Check out a list of Journey Groups to choose from at: https://bit.ly/47rTOaS , at the welcome desk, or on our website. Our Student Ministries Journey Groups will also be starting at this time.
Wednesday Night Dinner
Wednesdays | Starting September 13 | 5:30-6:15pm | Bring the whole family out and we’ll take care of preparing dinner. The suggested donation for an individual is $4 or feed the whole family for no more than $20. Great food, great fellowship, and a great deal! Just to make it easier for planning, could let us know if you are coming to the first dinner? https://forms.gle/ZyRLm8GoHpP7JwFu9
Student Ministries Rummage Sale
September 21-23 | It is almost time for our students' annual Oktoberfest garage sale. They start taking donations, on Sunday, September 17.
Alabaster Offering
Sunday, September 24 | Alabastor offering is an additional offering that we take for global missions that provide funds for property and buildings for churches and missionaries around the world. The name is based on the story of the woman who poured perfume on Jesus's feet. One avenue of giving is Alabaster boxes. Earlier this year, we distributed boxes to collect change in and we encourage people to bring those boxes in. We will be taking an offering September 24 of those boxes and other monies.
Craft & Vendor Fair
Saturday, December 2 | Student Ministries will be hosting their annual Craft and Vendor Fair this year. Contact Melody Grimm or Pastor Marcus for more information on being a vendor.
Employment
We are still looking for a part-time custodian. Go to the employment page under resources on the church website, www.mantenonazarene.org, if you are interested or want more information.
Nursery Attendant
Sharon Kilpatrick has been hired as our nursery attendant as we are going into two services. She will be a consistent familiar face that will be in the nursery on Sunday mornings, both services, ready to care for your bundles of joy. Congratulations Sharon!
