Christmas Adult Fellowship

Merry Christmas! And to all a Good Night!!!
It's nearing that time of the year - can you believe it? If you have been in the stores you see signs of the holidays already. Well, we are looking forward to not just a "good night" but a "great night" for our December Adult Fellowship on December 13th. We wanted to let you know of the date early, so you could mark in on your calendars. We will start at 7:00 and the party will end when the last person leaves :-) More details will come regarding specifics.

Just a side note. We would like to encourage those of you who may be new to Vesper Lake to join us for what is always a great time of fellowship and food and laughter. If you are an "old timer"(hopefully no offense is taken :-), invite someone who may be newer to join us. It's such a great time to actually get to know each other make others feel part of our church family. We are looking forward to the 13th; we hope to see you here!

In Him, Jim and Roslyn Burkett

Ladies' Night Out 10/16 and Men's Night Out 10/23

Ladies' Night Out - Macaroni Grill, Thursday, Oct. 16th, 7:00 p.m.

Men's Night Out - Csaky's house, Thursday, Oct. 23rd, 7:00 p.m.

Please bring a snack, appetizer or dessert. Burgers and drinks will be provided. The men have really enjoyed meeting at someone's home rather than a restaurant, so we'd like to ask for volunteers to host MNO at your house. MNO is normally scheduled on the first Thursday of the month, but you are welcome to host it on whatever night works for you.

If you are interested, please respond to this email so you can get scheduled for a month you prefer. Also, please note that the guys will bring whatever items you designate so you can be thinking about what you'd like them to bring and what you'd like to supply.

Thanks! P.S.- Ladies, DON'T FEAR! We WILL CONTINUE to go OUT for LNO! haha

Vesper Bake Sale

Shelly Flanigan, wife of Tim Flanigan and daughter-in-law of Chuck and Pauline, has been led to host a weekly bake sale at Vesper Lake! Her willingness to follow God's conviction in her life and bless our community in a very tangible way is wonderful!! If your interested in supporting her ministry and the church through this great opportunity, there are a couple ways to help.
  1. First, you can come prepared to donate and buy some baked goods starting this Sunday. She will have wrapped cookies for kids and baked goods for everyone. Each item will have a suggested donation- donations can be placed directly into the offering boxes in the back of the sanctuary.
  2. Second, if you are interested in offering a baked good or a few baked goods to the table, she would greatly appreciate it. This will be a weekly opportunity to bless our community, so contact her directly if you're interested in bringing something this Sunday or in any of the coming weeks.
