SIGN UPS BEGIN TODAY!!! For months we have been praying about and preparing for the launch of our newest ministry at Orange Ave, 242 Small Groups. We are calling them this because the scripture found in Acts 2.42 is our guide. Today we take our next step by signing up to be in a 242 Group. Please stop by Orange Central before you leave today and sign up for a 242 Group. There are 15 groups available but are limited to the first 12 to sign up. At the top of each sign up sheet is the name of the 242 host, the address of the meeting location, the day and time of the first meeting, and if the group is able to accommodate children. --When you sign up please sign up each person in your family INDIVIDUALLY. One name per line. (Family of 4 will use 4 lines) --We are asking you to take your teens with you to your 242 meeting. This is a chance for some cross-generational fellowship. --If you have any questions please see Deb, Kathy Hogan, and/or Hans & Kathy Van Dingstee. Our first meeting is September 13th and our first 242 sessions will end on October 18th. On October 25th we will have a Celebration Sunday with a potluck and our Fall Festival. Good Morning, Guests we are very happy that you have chosen to worship with us today. We pray that God will send us many visitors, each Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night. You encourage us by your presence, and we hope that our worship together will be a spiritual boost for you. Attendance cards are available in the pockets on the back of each pew, and also in front of some of the pew bibles. Please fill out the side labeled Welcome Guests completely and place it in the collection tray. Thank you for leaving us this record of your visit. Our prayer is that you will visit with us again soon. MEMBERS: It is especially important to fill out the Members side of the card and leave us a record of your attendance as well. Thank you, so much.
