WORSHIP SCHEDULE Sunday, August 25 9 a.m. Unity Service

Parsonage Help Needed If anyone would like to help with parsonage, work is still to be done! Do you like to paint? Do you know how to stabilize a toilet? These are the exciting things that still need to be done, along with cleanup. Sandy and Skip Mann have become the go-to members working on the effort. Feel free to offer any help to Sandy or Skip. They have worked so hard on the parsonage and Stephen and Pastor John are most grateful.

Cookies and Conversation August 25 Following service on August 25, stay for Cookies and Conversation with Pastor John. Please share your thoughts and hopes for I.L.C. with Pastor. Your feedback will then be forwarded to the Forward Leadership Team who will compile the information and digest it to produce a Mission Statement for our Church.   Your voice matters, we are listening!

September Schedule Available The schedule of worship helpers for the month of September has been published. See it here .

Reach the Beach Fundraiser Chris and Ali Thayer are once again running in Ragnar's Reach the Beach race in New Hampshire in mid-September with the goal of raising funds for camperships at Camp Calumet so that the cost of going to camp for ALL campers is as low as possible and to provide additional financial support to those who need it. Please consider a donation of any size. Chris and Ali are looking for 50 donors to sponsor them as they run a combined 200 miles with their team running from Bretton Woods to Hampton Beach. Click Here to Donate

Homecoming Sunday September 15 Homecoming Sunday will feature one service at 9 a.m., games, food and coming back together! Hospitality will provide sandwiches, condiments and a broccoli salad. Since we will be outside and limited due to the construction, please bring your drinks, chairs, blankets, a side dish or dessert & serving utensil (mark it, please). If it needs to remain cold, then a cold pack, please. A sign-up sheet will be available at the back of the church. Thank you!

Lawn Games Needed for Homecoming Sunday In addition to our Homecoming church picnic, we will be having fun for all ages with lawn games and activities. We are looking for more games and are in need of donations! Do you have a cornhole set, ladder toss, bocce ball, or other fun lawn games you can bring to church on September 15? Or maybe a frisbee, football, or soccer ball? Or bubbles and chalk? We would love to have them! Please email Rachel Stuen with what you will bring. Thank you in advance!
