Weekly Update - August 4th, 2023

Hi church,

There’s a lot going on at Weems Creek!

Back to School Family Celebration

Families with children in kindergarten through high school are invited to join us for a celebration on the hill behind the church on Friday, Aug. 18th from 6-9pm! We will have hot dogs, chips, soda, and roast s’mores at the fire pit! There will be outdoor games set up including cornhole, pickleball, and gaga ball. We will also show a movie on a big screen. Bring some lawn chairs or a blanket, your favorite movie snacks, and join us as we celebrate the start of a new school year! Please sign up so we have enough food. You can do that through the Church Center App (click on “More” in the bottom right of the screen) or at the Connect Center on Sunday.

MOPS

MOPS will be returning to Weems Creek this fall! The first session is Sept. 15th and will meet on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month from 9:30-11:30am. In order to make this possible, we need childcare workers. If you are interested in helping with childcare or being a mentor mom, please sign up at the Connect Center. Childcare workers will be paid. For more information, contact Melissa Gardner (melissa@weemscreek.com).

Meet & Greet

We are looking forward to our next Meet & Greet on Aug. 13 immediately after the service! If you would like to make a snack, please contact Anna Goldman (annafgoldman@gmail.com). Name tags will be available in the atrium. Be sure to pick them up on your way in!

Youth on the Road

Pastor Alex and the youth leaders will be taking the students “on the road” to see how their faith is intertwined in the everyday things we do. This will take place from Aug. 13-16. Contact Pastor Alex for more information. (alex@weemscreek.com).

SonShiners – Baysox Game

The SonShiners will be going to the Baysox vs. Altoona Curve on Aug. 17. The game starts at 6:30pm. If you would like to carpool, meet at church at 5pm. Tickets are $15. Checks may be made out to the church and given to Roger or Sarina or placed in the offering, clearly labeled “Baysox Game.” Please sign up at the Connect Center.

Business Meeting

We will have a business meeting on Aug. 9th at 6:25pm. We will conduct the normal business as well as vote on proceeding with the purchase of the minibus, which costs more than anticipated.

See you Sunday!

Pastor Bryan
