Announcement from July 27 Bulletin

Wildwood Metropark Sunday Afternoon Gathering
On Sundays when we have an evening service scheduled, families are invited to spend the afternoon between the morning and evening services at Wildwood Metropark. Though this gathering was intended for people who travel from significant distances, all are invited. For more information and specific location at Wildwood Metropark, please talk with Marc or Renee Brunner. The next gathering will be Aug. 3.

WOW Lemonade & Lightning Bugs
Our August time together will take place at the home of Sue Beat on Monday, August 11th at 8 p.m. Plan now to attend this great time of fellowship on a summer evening.

Semper Reformanda – Chinese/American Olympic Night - August 8
College students and young professionals, save this date! In coordination with the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, we’re planning a evening of fun events and festivities. More details forthcoming!

Sunday Evening Nursery Age Limit
It is the Living Word Youth’s joy to watch your children during the Sunday evening service and see them grow! Yet as the Lord has blessed us with many more children, our nursery space remains small. Due to the limited space, it has been necessary to set an age limit for the Sunday Evening service nursery to 3 and under. Thank you for your understanding in this matter as we continue to grow.

LWY Work Day at the Dominguez Home
This Wednesday, July 30, in place of our regular time, we will have a work day at the Dominguez home to show our appreciation to them for hosting us. It will start at 6:00 p.m. Make sure you wear cloths that you can get dirty in. Dinner will be provided. We will close with a time of prayer. See you there!

Homeschool Meeting Change
The Homeschool Meeting on August 4th has changed to meeting at the Foulke home instead of the Holder home. This meeting is at 7 p.m. Come with ideas and suggestions for what places, activities and events you and your children would like to participate in with other homeschoolers during this upcoming year. For more information or questions, contact Julie at 419-537-7008.

Wednesdays In The Park
This coming Wednesday the women and children of CTW will meet at Sidecut Metropark – 1025 River Rd Maumee. See Tai French with any questions.
