This little brown bag will carry a message of light and welcome back to church for those who may not currently be attending church. The simple Kraft bag will contain a free CFL light bulb and an invitation encouraging people try church again. Our members will deliver the bags in their neighborhood's during the week of Sept 19-25.

Pastor Mark sends a warm 'thank you' to the many who already signed up  to help during Back to Church Weekend Sept 25-26. There were over 100 who agreed to help during the sign up at our picnic. The more who help, the more we will be able to invite in our community! Please consider signing up by emailing Terri or via the signup clipboards available at worship this weekend.

Here is why the little brown bag can help: 1.Most Americans have been to church, and yet only 20 percent are regular attendees. 2.82 percent of the unchurched are likely to attend church if invited by a trusted friend or relative. 3.Only 2 percent of church-going people invite someone to church in a given year. 98 percent of church-goers never extend an invitation in a given year.

Thanks in advance for helping us distribute the brown bags.
