Jubilee Celebration! Sat. Sept. 19, 2009

How can we as the Church Body be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community? The 2009 Jubilee Celebration on Saturday, September 19 from 10 - 3 pm provides a tremendous opportunity to serve and minister to those in need who live amongst us. This year's celebration will be held at the Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center (14421 Johnny Cake Ridge Rd.)

What is the Jubilee Celebration? It's a one-day celebration to honor members in our community who are in need. Through donations from individuals, corporations and other organizations, the Jubilee's goal is to provide some much-needed blessings and relief to people who need help meeting some of life's most basic necessities - like washing detergent, food, clothing, furniture, baby products,...The BEST part is it's all FREE with no charge to those who attend.

How can you get involved? There are many, many ways to help out. You can donate funds, donate products, services (hair cuts,...) and gently used items. You can help set up the week before the event, you can volunteer the day of at any of the blessing stations and/or you can help take down after the event. The Jubilee has a huge need for desserts. Dessert items can be made or purchased. Sugar-free items and fresh fruit are also requested. Groups of ladies from our church can work together on September 19 in various areas, so grab a friend and be a part of this awesome day! You can also make this a family event and get all your kids involved.

Check the foyer at SSEFC for sign-up sheets for the many volunteer opportunities. Feel free to call Jeff Weinberger or Evie Cayton with any questions. The following planning meeting dates are set at SSEFC from 7 - 9 pm: 8/3, 8/17, 8/24, 8/31, 9/8, 9/14, & 9/17. You don't have to make the planning meetings to get involved. Please be in prayer for this wonderful celebration and be praying for how you might get involved. Thank you!

"Freely you have received, freely give." Matt. 10:8
