Community Fall Festival



Community Fall Festival is September 27 this year and planning is in full swing.  To help us “kick off” the festivities we will be having a Tailgate Party Thursday, September 4, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. as well as Sunday, September 7, from 8:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  This is the first Colts game of the season and the perfect reason to celebrate.  We will have tailgating fun and food. 

To help us ensure that the Community Fall Festival is a “Touchdown” in the community, we ask that you bring some of your favorite tailgating treats to donate for the festival.  We are in need of cases of soda (name brand please), cases of bottled water, boxes of Capri Suns, boxes of snack cakes and condiments (mustard, mayonnaise and relish).

 We are also in need of new school supplies to give to the neighborhood children during the festival. Please feel free to bring these to the tailgating party as well.
Don’t forget to wear your favorite Jersey and invite a football buddy to join you at church and our tailgate party September 4 or September 7.

A Letter from Pastor Mark June 2013

Dear Friends, As I am writing this letter, I am still reeling from the news of the terrible tragedy that continues to unfold in Oklahoma.  I am sure that all of you know that an F5 tornado devastated Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City.  At the time of my writing this communication, we still do not have complete information on the total number of fatalities and injuries.  We do know that the damage can only be described as complete and total devastation. As I have watched the news reports over the past several days, I have heard people tell their stories.  Over and over again I heard people say, “All I could do was pray.”  “I prayed that God would keep me and my family safe.”  On one report I saw a video clip that had been filmed by a person that was a safe distance away from the storm.  As he taped the scene he witnessed the incredible power and destruction that was happening right before his eyes.  The person audibly offered this prayer....

FOOD PANTRY COLLECTIONS

Dear servants...you are so awesome!  Again in September you raised the bar.  You donated a total of 406 pounds of food to Hunger INC Food Pantry located on Epler just west of Madison Ave.  This pantry services all of Perry Township residents and Beech Grove.   (At this rate we may need a van for delivery.)  We also had a late donation of buns totaling 19 more pounds.  Food can be taken anytime to the Pantry if you want to deliver on your own.  On one Thursday in August, the pantry passed out 1000 pounds of food to the 29 persons who were there the 3 hours the pantry was open.   Three of those 29 were homeless folks.  As you shop look for food cans with pop-top tabs for easy opening for those people without a home.  There are certain staples given out to everyone that are provided with the pantry money collected through Meijer's Simply Give donations each year. This includes saltines, canned tuna, stew, canned chicken...
