2015 Fall Festival

Around the glow from the camp fire, stories of Halloween adventures and funny tales are told. Join in the sing-a-longs while you toast marshmallows. Close by our church artists will embellish the faces of children of all ages with creative face painting. Settle into the soft comfort of beds of straw as we tour the grounds in an old fashioned hay ride, and if that doesn’t satisfy your All Saints Eve Celebration tour the rows of crafty, creative and goody laden trunks abounding in treats for the kids. After, during or before all of this decorate a mini pumpkin to enjoy during the fall season. Then to warm your body and “spirits: enjoy a cup of soup and a sandwich prepared by our good old “ghouls of the Kitchen”.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

So feel the fun and sign up to park your trunk of treats or help by joining in the preparation and celebration. Signup sheets will be in the Fellowship Hall and or contact Christian Education Chair, Gary Baumgardner at 770-599-3089 or homedsgn@bellsouth.net.

Pew Bibles

Holy Bible

To enhance the worship experience, SUMC plans to add more pew Bibles in the sanctuary. These navy blue Bibles with the Methodist cross and flame will be the New Revised Standard Version, 2007 edition. Half of the Bibles purchased will be large-print editions. The congregation can be a part of this project beginning now, September 6, through October 18, 2015.

The cost of each Bible is $15.00, and book plates will be printed and placed inside each Bible that is purchased. The donors’ names will be included along with names of loved ones to whom the Bible is dedicated “In honor of . . .” or “In memory of . . .”.

Order forms are in the Narthex and in the Fellowship Hall on the Welcome Center table. Your donations for Bibles can be sent to the church office or placed in the offering plate. Please make your checks out to SUMC and note Pew Bible on the memo line. Payment must accompany the form.

Please contact Jean Cotton at jeanhubb@juno.com or 770-599-0993 for more information.
