Weekly Update, August 9th, 2024

Hi church,

This Sunday will be a Meet & Greet Sunday. Please be sure to stop by the table and pick up your name badge. This is great way to learn names and maybe meet someone new.

Serve Team Fair

Join us Sunday evening, Aug. 18 at 6pm for our Serve Team Fair! Each serve team will have a booth set up describing their purpose and responsibilities. There will be interactive activities at each booth; there will be games, food, and raffles! Come check it out and see which would be a good fit for you.

Orioles Faith Night

We have one ticket available for the game. If you would like the ticket, please email office@weemscreek.com and let us know you would like it. This ticket is being donated (no charge). The game is this coming Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 6:35pm.

SonShiners (55 ) – Baysox Game

The SonShiners will be going to the Bowie Baysox game versus the Erie Seawolves on Aug. 22. The game is at 6:35pm. If you are interested in going, you must sign up and pay by THIS Sunday, Aug. 11. Tickets are $13 (60 ) and $15 (under 60 years old). Please place your money in the offering, clearly marked “Baysox.” Please sign up at the Connect Center. If you would like to ride the minibus, it will leave the church at 5:15pm.

Small Group Ministry

If you are interested in participating in a small group but haven’t filled out a survey yet, you can use this link Small Group Survey or pick up a survey at the Connect Center. These groups are casual discussion groups related to a given topic of study (such as marriage, finances, parenting, apologetics, books of the Bible, etc). The goal is for each person to grow deeper in their faith and develop stronger relationships where you can be loved, challenged, and motivated for life in Christ. A typical group will meet each week in a person's home for 6-8 weeks.

Wednesday Night Activities resume Sept. 11
