Rally Day is Sunday September 13^th and you won’t want to miss the festivities we have planned for the entire family at Long Lake that morning!

· What a TREAT! We will be welcoming for worship and for our Sunday School hour Lora Sauter Westberg – a local artist – who will be leading us in song.

· We will be welcoming all our Sunday School students and parents during our Sunday school hour (9:15-10:15am) to the cornerstone for games, crafts, prizes, songs, and lots of fun while Lora Sauter Westberg helps us kick off our new year of Sunday School!

· We will enjoy breakfast cooked by the “Squares” after BOTH services! Pancakes, sausages, and eggs for EVERYONE!

· Worship will be set around our NEW Spark Curriculum’s music which will inspire all of us with songs everyone can remember – like “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands” and “I’ve Got the Joy Joy Joy”.

So come join us Sunday September 13^th for a wonderful morning of fun and celebration as we kick off another program year with a Spark!
