If you are on facebook and have a smart phone, please check in at LOL. You can even let people know about your worship experience while you’re here! Summerfest July 24th, 2015 If you have not already, now is the time to sign up for your favorite spot at Summerfest! We have a space for everyone who would like to help: set up, various booths during the event, and clean-up on Saturday morning. Many hands make light work! Did You Know? Last year we sold out all of the Chiavetta’s chicken in less than two hours!? The best way for us to gauge how much chicken and sides to prepare, is to sell as many tickets as possible ahead of the event. Tickets are on sale now in the Welcome Center, and we encourage you to buy your tickets in advance if you are able. We are also making Cash Raffle and Basket tickets available. Why not avoid the lines and get yours today?! Also at the Summerfest table: your envelope of Cash Raffle tix to sell , more if needed, and donation and thank you letters if you plan to ask at any of the places you frequent. The tree in the Welcome Center is the Summerfest “Needs” Tree. If you are able to help by donating any one (or more) of the items listed on the leaves, please take one, and bring the item/s specified back when you are able. Once again, we couldn’t do this without you and your generosity. The Summerfest Team thanks you! 2015 NEED/WISH LIST BASKETS, BASKETS, & MORE BASKETS $5-$10 ITEMS FOR EGGSTRAVAGANZA BIG TICKET ITEMS VALUED @ $100 OR MORE BAKED GOODS LARGE TENTS SPONSORS BRAND NAME POP (COLA, DIET COLA, AND CLEAR VARIETIES) DONATIONS OF ALL KINDS FROM LOCAL VENDORS Please bring donations in to the administration office @ any time between 10AM and 4PM during the week, or any Sunday morning.
