SCHEDULE YOUR CHURCH DIRECTORY

PICTURES TODAY!

Professional pictures for the new church directory will be taken on August 6, 7, and 8 (Monday – Wednesday) Appointment times go from 2:00 – 9:00 P.M.  There is a table in the Fellowship Hall today where you can schedule your appointment and get more information from our Fellowship Committee members.  You can also sign up online by going to demottearc.com.

It’s a great time for a summer barbeque!  Anyone up for playing cards?  It’s always nice to fellowship and have coffee and dessert!   Wouldn’t it be nice to grab lunch and meet at the park?  If any of these fellowship opportunities sound good to you, maybe you’d be interested in hosting an ARC get-together!  Pick up a host volunteer sheet from the table in the kitchen hallway, fill it out and put it in the Get-Together tray on that same table OR call or text Kristi (219-964-9957 OR 987-5195) or Donna (219-730-9824 OR 987-4289).  No pressure to come up with people to ask to come to your event.  You will be given a list, along with invitations to fill out and put in mailboxes of your guests.  Get-togethers are happening and being enjoyed!  In order to reach more people in a timely manner, additional hosts are welcome!  If you receive info in your mailbox about a get-together, please respond if you are able or unable to attend so the host can plan accordingly.  What a blessing to be a part of the family of God here at ARC!  Let’s be deliberate in developing relationships and strengthening ties.

A VOLUNTEER SIGN UP SHEET is posted by the kitchen for those that would like to volunteer for our next Mobile Food Pantry set for Friday, August 10.  There are a couple ways you can help with this important ministry.  We need volunteers to help that day with various jobs such as working in the kitchen, helping with registration, and helping clients carry food to their cars.  Also, we need baked goods to serve.  All help is so appreciated!
