THIS SUNDAY AT CREEKSIDE
Pre-Service Prayer
A group gathers each Sunday morning to pray for Creekside and the Sunday services. Prayer begins between 8:45 and 9:00 AM (and ends in time for the start of the first service). Come join the team!
This Week's Message
This Sunday, July 13, our message is "Listening for God’s Heartbeat". Read Revelation 7:9-12 to get a preview!
METAMORPHOSIS Sunday Day Camp
Grades 1-6 will be participating in the Metamorphosis Sunday Day camp all summer through August 17. Kids will be hearing a story each week through a skit or puppetry and then rotate between games, crafts and getting deeper into the lesson. Snack will be provided each week so if you could let us know if there are food allergies ahead of time that would be helpful! We tie died shirts last week and would love for the kids to wear them each week. Please send your kids directly to the pod when you arrive - the program starts at 9:30 AM. Questions? Contact Andrea (andrea@kake.us).
End Summer Hunger – Hopelink Food Drive
During the month of July we will be holding a food drive to benefit Hopelink. The focus during the summer is to feed children who normally depend on free and reduced-fee lunches provided through their schools. Please bring your food or monetary donations to the table in the lobby on Sundays in July. For more information, contact Patty Coster (jptc.coster@verizon.net), pick up a brochure on the info table or visit www.hope-link.org.
Eat Breakfast at Church This Summer
We’re taking a break from our normal routine this summer to create more time for Creeksiders to be together. From July 13 to August 10 we are shortening our service in order to allow time to eat breakfast, hang out, catch up and play out in the fields. If you would be willing to help with breakfast one of those weeks, please contact Lynn. And bring your favorite sporting equipment for the field – tennis, soccer, volleyball, etc. (Suggested donation: $2)
