TGIF Thank you
TGIF has again come and gone. The school kids and staff always they look forward to this event each year. The weather co-operated, and the rain stayed away even though it was a little chilly. The grill worked fine this year, (with a little help from Tim Jones shaking the propane tank).
Carolyn and I have been coordinating this event for several years and we are always amazed at the response from all our people. Those that shop for bargains on pop and water or bake cookies and bars. Those that come to help set up and serve on that day and those that stay late to help clean up.
There are many things that go into preparing for an event like this. Tables and chairs need to be brought up from the Fellowship hall and setup in the parking lot. Tubs need to be filled with water, ice and pop so they are cold. Bur-gers and hotdogs need to be cooked ahead of the school arriving so the 1000+ kids and staff have time to be served quickly. This event would not be possible without the help of many people. So many that I will not try to list them all, but you know who you are. (We are the Church)
Again, THANK YOU.

(thank goodness it's friday)
This annual event provides a free lunch for the students and staff of our good neighbors, Cedar Falls High School. Through our hospitality we make a witness to the love and grace we know in Jesus Christ.
TGIF 2018, September 28
TGIF will be here before we know it, so start looking for those super bargains for pop and water. We serve around 1000 students and staff so we need lots of pop and water. Also be thinking about what treats you would like to make, cookies or bars. Last year the kids preferred the bars more than cookies. They especially liked scotcheroos, pumpkin bars and brownies. If you make anything with peanuts in them, please label them as such.
Homecoming will be late September. Look for the sign up board at the end of August. Details to follow.
Thank you all for your support,
Gary and Carolyn
