PASTOR JEFF'S PONDERINGS

Where is everyone?

8/18/2016

 
If you drive past the church you'll see a sign that indicates that there will be "NO WORSHIP SERVICE" this Sunday, August 21st. Don't bother showing up, since no one will be there.

Instead, at 9:00 AM we'll be meeting at the Twisp Community Center along with the congregation from Cascade Bible Church. We'll pray, divide into project teams, and go out to serve people for a couple of hours.

What kinds of things will the teams be doing? There will be a number of projects involving cleaning up yards and gardens. One group will be dismantling a snow-damaged mobile home. A group will be helping the Kiwanis club put in a sand volleyball pit at the high school. Some will be butchering a pig and wrapping up the meat to give to The Cove for distribution. There will even be a group holding a $1 carwash (in which we'll be paying people for letting us serve them!). For any who feel unable to do physical work, a group will be meeting at CBC for prayer.

Come with some gardening gloves, weeding tools, a weed whacker if you've got one, and a willingness to jump in and help where you're needed. Our goal for Sunday is two-fold:
  1. To share God's love with people in our community by practically serving them
  2. To demonstrate unity within the greater body of Christ as we work side-by-side with the members of CBC.
As you serve you may have opportunities to talk with people or even to pray with them. Who knows how God may use our willingness to serve others in Jesus' name?

AT 5:30 that evening we'll meet together in the Twisp Park for a potluck picnic. Burgers and hotdogs along with lemonade will be provided. Bring lawn chairs, place settings, and a dish to share.  We'll enjoy fellowship and have time to share our experiences from the day.

I hope you'll be able to join us as we seek to be water, light, and salt in our community.

Sunday School Teachers Needed

In only a few weeks the kids will be heading back to school - and that includes Sunday School! In order to provide the best learning opportunity, we need a team of adults willing to invest in the spiritual growth of our children.

Here's a word from Mandy Schmekel:

Hello Church Family.

It’s that time of year again, Back to School! It’s also back to our Sunday School classrooms, where kids can be taught the word of God specific to their age level. We are excited for the new year and are looking for more teachers to join our team!  Here are a list of our needs, and there are many. We ask that you seriously consider and pray about teaching our kids at CCC. We have an amazing group of kids!

Maybe you’ve taught before, and maybe you’ve never even considered it?! Either way…we ask that you prayerfully consider being a part of our children’s program. The more teachers we have, the less work and preparation there is for one or two people. Believe it or not…you will actually be BLESSED by working with these young ones of ours. If you don’t know them well already, you are missing out…and here is your big chance to get to know them and to plant the word of Christ in their hearts and in their lives forever. And who knows…you may be the one they tag on Facebook or whatever is around in 10 years saying this is the Sunday school teacher I will always remember who made a difference in my life! :) 

Here is a list of age groups and how many teacher roles we need to fill:

*Pre-school-Kindergarten  (3yrs-5yrs)  : 2-3 Teachers, 2-3 helpers
     -One teacher, one helper every Sunday. If we have 3 teachers, they can rotate how ever they choose. Every 3rd Sunday, Every 3rd month, etc)

*1st-2nd Grade: 2-3 Teachers, 2-3 helpers
     -One teacher, one helper every Sunday. If we have 3 teachers, they can rotate how ever they choose. Every 3rd Sunday, Every 3rd month, etc)

*3rd-6th Grade: 12 sets of 2 Teachers for a 4 week chunk of time (may choose an 8 or 12 week as well).
     -This is the older elementary group of kids. We do this group a little differently.  We have several curriculums to choose from and we have teachers choose the curriculum and commit to a 4 week chunk of time to teach. We have a calendar to sign up for the 4 weeks that they choose from September-June. So we need 12  pairs of teachers for this age group to commit to a 4 week chunk of time and may also choose to do 8 or 12 weeks. 

As you can see, we have many needs for teachers this year. Please prayerfully consider teaching this year! The more people that volunteer, the easier it will be on all of us…and most of all, more of you will get to know these amazing kids that are growing up in our church! We are the village!

Thank you for supporting our kids.

Blessings,
Mandy Schmekel
