Come Join Us at the Hobo Party

Want to enjoin the fresh country air, enjoy homemade stew, play volleyball and horseshoes, relax in a lawn chair, pet the baby calves or go on a hayrack ride?  Then set aside Sunday September 25 and head on out to the Rein’s Farm west of Sterling for the annual “Hobo Party” from 3 - ??.  For those of you who are new to the church, this is an annual gathering of our church family and friends that started years ago at the Duden Farm.  It’s a great time with excellent food and fellowship.  Directions to Kermit and Lori Rein’s farm will be available as we get closer to the date.

 Sign up for the Golf Outing

 Want to take a shot at knocking off Pastor Dave in a game of golf?  One of last year’s teams, “Brandon’s Ladies”, says they are up to the challenge!  You can have that chance to beat Pastor Dave’s team at the 3^rd annual Golf Outing at Emerald Hill on Sunday October 2 starting at 2:30PM.  We will play a “Best Ball” 9 hole round of golf with recognitions on certain holes for longest drive, closet to the pin and longest putt.   In a Best Ball format, each player on the team contributes a shot on each hole so you don’t have to be a world class golfer.  Put together a team of four or we’ll put you on a team.  We had 10 teams last year with some great competition and fun.  Join us afterwards at Angelo’s II for pizza and pasta.  Sign up in the Fellowship Hall today.

 

 CMF Hosts the Sterling Fire Department at its first meeting

 The CMF is ready to “fire off” its fall season with the Sterling Fire Department.   CMF will have its first meeting of the fall on Monday September 12 at 6:30PM at the church.  The Sterling Fire Department will be our guests and they plan on bringing out one of their “pumper” trucks and show us the in and the outs of operating this heavy hauler.  We’ll also learn some other interesting points of what’s going on at the SFD.  So have your questions ready.  All men of the church are invited to attend.  Our menu will be tacos, beans, dessert and drink.

 

In order to share the load for the meetings, we’re going to utilize a team concept of having 6-7 guys prepare the meals and cleanup after the meetings.  You even get to plan your own menu!  This is the same concept we use for mowing the church lawn and it works really well.  You get to share in good fellowship with one other at the same time.  You would only have to prepare two times at the maximum during our meeting year.  Please give it some thought and let Steve Hampton know if you can help out.  We would greatly appreciate it!!  The CMF plans on meeting on the second Monday of the month at 6:30PM unless otherwise noted.
