Invite-A-Friend Sunday

Friends,

Do you want to do something to help your church in a very significant way? If you do, please invite you friends, families, and nieghbors to our church activities on Sunday, April 26, 2009.

You will be able to invite them to:

• A great cantata called "Come To The Cross" that will be performed at both services.
• A pancake feed sponsored by the Soul Cafe Men's Breakfast. We will be serving from 8:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. A free-will offering will be accepted.
• The Community Bloodmobile will be on our lot taking blood donations. Plan to save a life by giving one unit of blood. You can really make a difference when you donate blood.
  

Stretch out of your comfort zone and invite someone to come with you. Offer to pick them up, if necessary.

In the Master's service,
Steve
