FOLLOWERS OF FAITH FISH FRY...

We are now accepting your donations of plain potato chips and loaves of bread. Please place them in the bin located in the gathering space. We will need all tickets and money returned on Sunday, July 12 in order to give Dan's an official count of pre-sold tickets. There is still time to see Angi to volunteer for this great event!


AUGUST 2 BLESSING AND FAREWELL,,,

August 2, 2009 is the last Sunday that David and Sue Bibbee will be at Creekside Church. There will be a time of blessing and farewell at the end of the worship service, and we encourage you to stay for a fellowship time in recognition of Pastor David’s seventeen years of ministry in our congregation.

In addition, you are invited to write a card sharing a personal blessing or favorite memory with David or Sue. You may provide your own card or pick one up from the ushers’ table in the Gathering Area. Please bring cards on August 2, or drop them off in the Administrative Assistant’s box or with Cindy in the office before that day. Thank you! - John Zerbe, Church Board chair


LADIES & GENTLEMEN...

Monday, August 10 at 9:00 a.m. has been scheduled to proof all the typed recipes that people have submitted for the cookbook that will be published in the next couple of months. We need your help! We have 6 categories to go through. If we have more than 12 people to help with the proofreading, it will make the work go faster and allow us to finish by 12:00 Noon. Please let Maryann Zerbe know if you can help. -Followers of Faith

CONFERENCE DELEGATE…

NOTE: Rosanna McFadden will be Creekside’s Annual Conference Delegate this year. There was some miscommunication.


A REMINDER…

If you have a reason to enter the garage, will you please make sure the door is locked when you leave. This means you need to try to turn the handle and try to pull the door up. There have been a number of times this springs that the door was NOT properly locked. Your help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.



CHURCH DIRECTORY UPDATE…

The new directories are out! There are extra copies in the mailboxes on the right hand side. There are also large copies in my office if you would like to have one of those.


CHURCH BOARD NEWS…

The church Board had a meeting with Herman Kaufman on June 18 to discuss procedure for acquiring an interim and permanent pastor. Herman gave us several selections for interim pastor. We are hoping to have an interim pastor in place by mid July. We will start the process when Herman returns from conference. After this is done, we will start the process of selecting a search committee for hiring a new pastor.

In addition to this, the church board will be working on position summaries, Visioning and many other items.

The board meetings are always open to visitors and we would encourage members who have things that they feel should be discussed to write them down and give them to one of the board members.

We have several large decisions to make in the near future and would request your prayers for the Board. -John Zerbe, Church Board Chair


JUST BORN…

Monique and James Arritt had a baby boy Tuesday night, June 16, 2009, at 11:00 p.m. Texas time. The name is -- Corbin James Arritt -- weight 7 lbs. 11 oz. All are doing well.
