July 7th @ The Gathering

Wednesday July 7th from 7-8pm in Phillips Hall.
Freedom Rodriguez will be our special guest at this month’s Gathering. Freedom spent some time in Jinja, Uganda at an orphanage & has fallen in love with the children there. To help raise awareness & share their stories he has painted over the covers of 100 discard children’s books with faces of the children he met over there.

Here’s short word from Freedom about this project:

The desire to paint 100 faces is an expression of the life changing memories I have of my visits to Africa. With this collection, I hope to raise awareness of the needs in Africa and help fund our full-time arts ministry. These faces represent the increasing burning in my heart to serve those in need.

Each painting is done in acrylic on old discarded children’s books. The series represents the millions of orphans that have been discarded or abandoned. Many have been given over to orphanages for the chance of a better life. Nevertheless, these children need to feel and know that they have a story still worth reading about. No matter what they have gone through, God still desires them to live fully and with the purpose God created them for.

We are excited to have Freedom join us & hope you’ll come hear his story, as he shares the stories of these children of Africa. Jared & Lauren Hard will also be joining us to lead us in worship.

The Gathering

Join us Wednesday, June 2nd for the Gathering at 7pm in Phillips’ Hall.

No Classes Memorial Day Sunday

Join us this Sunday, May 30th  for worship at 10am.  We will not meet for 9am classes.   Enjoy the time with your families!

Fish Fry, Picnic, & Potluck

We want to spread the word about the “Fish Fry, Picnic, and Potluck” happening this Sunday, May 16^th.  Here are a few things you need to know:

 

·       The fishermen among us are working hard to provide us with enough fish, but we are also asking families to bring some hamburger patties or hot dogs to throw on the grill. Take those to the kitchen when you arrive Sunday morning.

 

·       Each family should bring a side dish, such as chips, salads, or dessert.  Remember, if it needs to stay hot or cold bring it in an ice chest.  There will not be extra space in the refrigerators with all of the meat.  Take these items to Phillips’ Hall where tables will be set up and labeled. 

 

·       Bring your favorite drinks. Iced Tea, Water, cups and ice will be provided.

 

·       Bring your lawn chairs.  We will have tables set up on the east side of Café’ Mosaic and on the patio directly outside, but softball is better to watch from a lawn chair.

 

·       Suzie Haltom is organizing a softball game.  Bring your gloves and bats.  Also, it will be a great day to play lawn  games such as horseshoes and Frisbee. Bring those, too.

 

·       Bad weather won’t stop us.  If it rains, we will still eat and play games in Phillips’ Hall.

 

·       Check with your small group to see if you are doing a specific task for the day such as set up, clean up, or bringing food items such as tartar sauce or ketchup.  If you are not signed up to volunteer, do you want to?  Contact Janet Collins at the church office.  We do still have a couple of needs.

 

We are looking forward to this great opportunity of fun and fellowship!  Feel free to call the church office if you have questions.  The number is 663.3000.  You can leave a message even if she is out of the office or email her at jcollins@garnettchurch.org.  Otherwise, see you this Sunday.

 

All-Church Worship May 5

Cafe Mosaic will be open beginning at 5 pm while we also share a free meal cooked by Chef Roy Victory and his staff. Join us for time to talk and relax in an atmosphere where we support and love one another. Then at 7 pm the student praise band will be leading us in The Gathering.

Sunday March 21–Worship 10 am

No 9 am classes because of weather and additional time to drive and warm up, but worship still planned for Sunday, March 21, 10 am.

Snow & Worship Sunday March 21!

Are we still gathering for worship Sunday, March 21? Snow is continuing to come down and more predicted through night. I know everyone wants to know, so I’m sending this out to say that it doesn’t look good, but we will make final determination as early as 8 pm Saturday or as late as Sunday morning around 6 am. Watch the web site, Facebook, email, and TV news. You can give your feedback by writing to gtaylor@garnettchurch.org. Thanks, Greg Taylor

Join us this Sunday

Our church is beautifully broken, each of us part of a mosaic of Christ’s followers at Garnett.
