Sunday, August 24
Venture Out
Leader: Shaylee Redmon |
Time: 9am – Noon
On August 24, we will take our worship outside the walls of our church and into our communities! On that day, we will have one worship service only (9:00a), and then our entire congregation will step out together and serve for the remainder of the morning. This will be a day to worship God not just with our voices, but with our hands and hearts! Whether you’re planting flowers, packing meals, or painting walls, every act of service is an act of worship. We are excited to Venture Out together!

August 24, starting at 9a! Plan to be engaged in Venture Out from 9a-12:30p. Projects should wrap up around 12:30p to ensure parents have time to pick up their kids from the church. Plan to arrive at Venture around 8:45a to find your group and get settled before our short service begins. Please note that check-in starts at 8:30a. Fun, light-hearted, and all-hands-on-deck! Teamwork makes the dream work. It should be a great experience for everyone involved. Feel free to laugh, smile, and work hard! Venture Out is designed for our Venture Groups to serve together. Each group has identified a "Serve Champion" that has planned their Venture Out project for the group. If your group leader or serve champion has not told you about your group's project - make sure you put them on the spot at your next meeting. Ask for the details! If you are not currently in a Venture Group but would like to be, sign up for one here! Of course! If you are not in a group and are not interested in joining one, you'll be serving with IDES completing a food pack at the church in the Mountain Area! Contact Shaylee Redmon with any questions about the food pack. Sit with your serving group! A map of the auditorium will be sent out to those who have signed up the week before August 24 letting you know where they will be. Your Venture Out t-shirt, jeans or shorts, and close-toed shoes. Wear something you don't mind getting dirty! If you don't have a t-shirt or need a new one, visit the kiosk in the lobby. In an effort to use our assets for serving projects rather than our outfits, we are using the same shirts as last year! If your shirt has paint or stains on it from last year... even better! If you need a different size or didn't get a shirt last year, please feel free to grab a shirt at the Venture Out kiosk in the lobby. The children's programming during Venture Out is Venture Out! Take your kids! Teach them what it's like to serve! Have fun with them! There will be childcare at the church for kids ages 0-2. Childcare check-in starts at 8:45a and ends at 1p sharp. Please make sure your kids are picked up by 1p. 8:45a-1p childcare might be the most difficult volunteer project of all on this day! Don't make it a bad experience for those volunteers by leaving your kids there longer than 1p. You should totally meet for a meal afterwards to debrief your experience!
