Help Needed with some yard work

The Property Committee is looking for individuals or small groups interested in taking care of some areas on the outside of the church. We do have some members that take care of a couple areas but we have other areas in need of some cleaning/updating such as the Prayer Garden, areas outside of the Fellowship Hall, weeds in the parking lots, etc. We will have a booth at the open house on the 29th or contact any Property Committee member if interested.

If so, join us in the church library for the Women’s LIFE Night Bible study beginning Wednesday, August 25th from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m.   We will be studying “Balancing Life’s Demands” by Chip Ingram.  This is a combination study guide and DVD Bible study.
