Throughout the month of September, we will be taking a special offering for our state mission efforts. The money collected will go to the SBCV’s Vision Virginia efforts which directly supports ministries to provide the resources necessary for people to hear the Gospel both around Virginia and the world.
Special offering envelopes will be in the pews and Prayer Guides will be available at the Welcome Desk. Donations accepted through our online giving as well.
Our Goal: $5,000.00 Given to date: $440.00
Last Sunday our Personnel Committee announced that they have chosen Nathan Williams as the candidate for our Associate Pastor position. Here are the important dates to note:
- Sunday, September 15th: Nathan Williams will deliver a trial sermon during our Sunday service. Following the service, there will be a meet and greet in the Social Hall.
- Wednesday, September 18th: We will have a Question and Answer session at 7 PM in the main sanctuary. This is a great opportunity to get to know Nathan better and ask any questions you may have.
- Sunday, September 22nd: A ballot vote will be held to decide on the Associate Pastor position. To vote, you must be a church member and be present in the sanctuary or the parking lot.
We encourage all members to participate in these important events as we seek God’s guidance in this decision.
Check Ins
Last Sunday we will begin using a secure check in system for our children ministry. This will be rolled out in several phases, beginning with the Nursery age group. Then over the upcoming weeks we will add new age groups into our check-in process.
IF YOUR CHILD DID NOT ATTEND VBS AND IS BIRTH-5TH GRADE
This will help speed up the check in process when the check in system become active for the next groups. Please use this link to provide the necessary information for your child’s check in as otherwise you will have to provide it at time of check in for the first time.
Last Sunday you may have seen that we’ve added parking lot attendants to assist you in finding open spots. They will help ensure efficient parking and enhance safety by managing traffic flow. We’ll reserve the closest spaces for vehicles with current handicap license plates. A golf cart will also be available before and after the service to bring you directly to the door if needed.
Please note that we will direct all traffic leaving the parking lot to turn left from the lot you park in.
We invite you to join us for our annual church-wide picnic on Sunday, Sept. 22nd at 5:30pm at the Clifford Ruritan Club. The church will be providing the paper products, drinks and main course. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share! We look forward to fellowshipping together. Please bring a camp chair or blanket.
