Old
Testament Heroes
You want
to help with the fall preaching series on Old Testament Heroes? Jeff is already
at work on the worship services and preaching, so if you are interested, see
him and find out what heroes, and what is needed to make the stories become
larger than life.
So, for
example, on September 8, we will be looking at Noah, “I Noah Guy!” and will
need some set elements for making an ark, lots of blue colored things, and we
need to find a really good Noah song, maybe like “who built the ark?”
All three
services will be up to our knees in water so…
You willing to help
us get bailed out? It looks like rain…
