This Sunday is the first time we’ve held Liberty’s annual cookout on a September Sunday. With students back in school and summer rapidly slipping away (and a weather forecast that still looks good for outdoors fellowship), it’s a great time to re-connect, share a great meal together, welcoming guests and blessing the kids with family fun for everyone.

For those who have offered to help us in the set-up phase between 8:00 and 10:00 AM tomorrow, please see Jonathan Nusbaum as you arrive to find out where help is needed most.

 [Note: Our Cafe Liberty serving team has a Sunday “off” this week as we share in set-up and preparations for the Cookout/fellowship].

Kids Ministry Advance day: What a pleasure it is to recognize the children who move into a new class level in Kids Church. The joy of learning in a safe, Christ-centered Kids class experience is a high priority in the shaping of a biblical worldview in church and family life.

We’re also honored to have water baptism at the conclusion of the morning service. Our set-up is different this time with a portable baptistry on the front porch. We’ll invite you all outside to surround those receiving baptism – and what a beautiful sign that is of the blessing of belonging in the Body of Christ!

After celebrating together with those who are receiving baptism, we’ll move to the fellowship hall for a great lunch (tables both indoors and outdoors) and then on to outdoor activities. Bring a lawn chair and a couple of towels with you and invite friends along to enjoy good food, water slide, fellowship and games for all ages.

On Sunday, September 15th, the Liberty Ladies Love-in-Action Luncheon will be held at 11:45 AM.  The RSVP for Ladies’ Luncheon events is in an Evite from Marsha Nusbaum and Diane Berry.  Guests are always most welcome! If you’re not yet on the Ladies Love-in-Action Evite list and would like more information, see Diane or Marsha here at church.

We welcome you to join personally in our support of Alpha Pregnancy Center’s ministry of providing timely, effective, Christ-centered care to women facing any type of crisis or duress in regard to expectancy, childbirth or motherhood. The annual Alpha Pregnancy Center Banquet at Grace Bible Church in Manchester MD is a great intro to the ministry and a time to step up our financial support! The Alpha Banquet is on Saturday evening, October 5th beginning with a Silent Auction @ 5:00 PM. There are free seats available at pre-sponsored tables. We would love to welcome you and your guests. For tickets, see Lou Enoff here at church.
