Calling anyone
who is interested in being part of a fun and
exciting evangelism team! We will be getting
permission to hand out fliers and sing in public
places in order to reach out to our community.
We want to advise people of our new Hispanic
program, so we will be targeting Hispanic
people, but we also want to use the opportunity
to speak with and invite English speaking people
as well. We need people who would like to sing,
play an instrument, hand out fliers and present
the gospel. Our next outing will be announced
soon. Please let Melanie Olvera know if you'd
like to participate. Like Pastor always says,
it's time to reap the harvest now!

at 6:00pm. The ELC will have a concession stand
open, so come hungry! Please see Tommy Blackstock or Buford Lewis for
more information.
In
addition to the auction, we will be having a
special cake auction. These cakes are going to
be made by some extraordinary people in our
church;-The Church Board! This includes Pastor
Scotty, Associate Pastor Danny, and all of our
deacons. These men will have no help in making
and baking the cakes (other than vocal
instruction), unless needed in an emergency
situation. Some have cooked and baked before;
others have not. We really don't know what we
are in for; with the exception of lots of
FUN!!!!
