Catch the Spirit Sunday was the name of our fall homecoming Sunday on September
7, 2008. This is the Sunday when we return to our three-service
schedule, with worship services at 7:30, 8:40, and 11:00 a.m., and an Education
Hour from 9:55 to 10:50 a.m.
This year Sunday School classes began on September 7, and a Connections
Expo was held in the Ministry Center during the Education Hour, with adult education
classes scheduled to begin on September 14, 2008.
At the Connections Expo members of the committees and groups in
our church had displays highlighting their activities in the church and the
enjoyment that current participants are having in doing that work and providing an
opportunity to invite other members of the
congregation to join them. Our Genesis
Bake Sale was also held at this same time between the two later worship services.
Our Centennial Celebration kickoff was our annual picnic organized
by our Deacons from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. that same afternoon, with fun, fellowship,
and, of course, food enjoyed by everyone. Games
for all ages and fun activities (face painting, cake walk, and moon bounce, to name
a few) began at 3:00 p.m.; and dinner
was served beginning at 4:00 p.m. In
addition to the food prepared by our Deacons, people brought a dish to pass - salads for those with
last names beginning with A through O, and desserts for those with last names beginning with P through
Z. Our new First Pres Centennial T-Shirts were also available, along with Note Cards created using photos and
artwork provided by some of our talented church members.
