 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

 CAMP
MACK CORNER…
Labor Day Family
Camp registration is due by July 15. Lodging is assigned on a first-come
basis after health needs are considered, so the earlier you register
the more likely you are to receive your lodging choice. The registration
fee increases after July 15.
