Sylvania Church

Sylvania Family & Friends,

Just a reminder that the Sylvania picnic is tomorrow at the Green Acres lake property on Lake Tyler (click for directions) from 2pm-7pm.

If you haven’t signed up, it’s not too late.  Simply register in the lobby of the church tomorrow or by emailing Chad.  The cost for dinner is $9/person with a$30 family max.

As for stuff to bring…

1. The lake is low, so boating won’t be available, but swimming is still very possible.  If you do plan to swim, I’d recommend wearing swim shoes or something with a sole.
2. Towels, change of clothes, etc. if you’re planning to swim.
3. You a baller (i.e., willing to play… we’re not exactly having tryouts)?  Bring your shoes and we’ll play full (short) court basketball.
4. Frisbees, footballs, washer toss, bean bag toss, or other outdoor game you’d be willing to share.

Sometimes it is good to hear a person open up and get vulnerable.

So, for the next four Sunday nights, your pastor will do just that.

We will have a four week series entitled “Hearing Your Pastor’s Heart.” Each week will cover a topic that is of utmost importance to your pastor and just may be a great significance to you as well. Here is the breakdown for each of the next 4 Sundays (minus July 3rd on which there will be no Sunday night service):

• June 19th: “The Importance of Jesus To My Whole Self” from Mark 12:29-31.
• June 26th: “The Importance of Christ in My Home” from Ephesians 5:22-6:4.
• July 10th: “The Importance of Christ in Your Church” from Ephesians 4:1-6.
• July 17th: “The Importance of Jesus in My Speech” from Ephesians 4:25-32.

I would love for you to join us.

Sylvania Family & Friends,

The Free Garage Sale outreach is this Saturday from 1pm-4pm and we are expecting approximately 300 shoppers, which is very exciting.

Of course, 300 shoppers is also a bit overwhelming.  So, here’s how you can help this outreach event be as effective as we are praying it will be.

1) Help us setup tomorrow night in the Oasis from 6pm until we’re done.

2) Help with final preparations on Saturday from Noon-1pm.

3) Help during the Free Garage Sale from 1pm-6pm (we need people to love and serve our guests).

I hope to see you in the Oasis tomorrow night and on Saturday!  Let me know if you have any questions!

Renee

Just a reminder that our Maundy Thursday service is this Thursday at 7pm, and that all Wednesday services are cancelled this week. I look forward to worshipping with you guys Thursday night!
