Wednesday Night Wave - resumes September
1st |

During the summer we take a break
from Wednesday Night
Wave, but September will be here soon. We are always in need of
teachers and helpers for the WAVE. Anyone interested in helping in the
fall once a month, should contact Sharon Arnold. Volunteer forms will
be placed in your mailboxes this summer. Please take some time to
prayerfully consider how you can help minister in the children’s
classes. While you teach or help, the children will return the
blessing. Help is also needed for recreation time. Youth are encouraged
to reply. The children love interacting with the youth of the church. |

Invite a Friend Sunday |

Invite a Friend Sunday will be
held on September 12. You are
encouraged to invite friends, families with children or a new
baby,
newcomers to the community, contacts in your clubs or
organizations, Co-workers, family members, classmates, neighbors,
business associates, new acquaintances, or anyone else who does not
actively participate in another church. Bring your friends to
Sunday school and worship. Pastor Charlie will bring the morning
message, the Praise Team will be singing, and cardboard testimonies
will be given.
Lunch will be provided for everyone in the Family Life Center following
the 10:05 morning worship service.
We need your help to make “Invite a Friend” Sunday a
special day. The meal is provided to everyone at no charge. We need
approximately 30 dozen (approx. 3” diameter) in a variety of
kinds (oatmeal, chocolate chip, chocolate with white icing, chocolate
with peanut butter icing, pumpkin, white with chocolate filling) and
ask that you bring them individually wrapped in saran wrap to the
church kitchen on Sunday morning by 9:00 am. There are sign-up sheets
on the bulletin board for whoopie pies and for help to serve the meal.
Any leftover whoopie pies will be served at the 5th Quarter Outreach
event. Questions can be directed to Janice Nolt or Kim Deitzler.
We know that you will want to share the warmth of our fellowship and
the love of God we enjoy in Jesus Christ. |

5th Quarter Outreach |

Midway will again be hosting a 5th
Quarter Outreach this fall after the Cedar Crest High School football
game on Friday night, September 17. This will be a wonderful
opportunity to serve and minister to students. The objective is to
touch students with the love of Christ in a safe environment to build
relationships and share our faith. We are partnering with the Students
for Christ Club at the high school to do this outreach.
The time is approximately 8 – 11 pm. There will be plenty of
food, some interactive video games, basketball and other activities.
We are looking for volunteers to help on the 5th Quarter evening. A
sign-up sheet is posted at the SIGN-UP CORNER in the narthex. We need
volunteers for food preparation and serving, security, relationship
builders and clean-up. Also, please pray that God would lead us and use
this opportunity to touch young lives with His love.
