O.A.S.I.S.: We invite you to come to start off the new O.A.S.I.S. season with a Fall Potluck on Thursday, Sept.1 at 11.00 A.M. at Covenant Church. FROM THE GARDEN! Some of us have gardens, some of us don’t! This is the time of year when gardens flourish and so here is an opportunity to share. If you have extra vegetables and/or fruit that you would like to share, you are invited to bring them to church on Sunday mornings. If you don’t have a garden, please help yourselves, take some home and enjoy! A table will be set up Sunday mornings in the fellowship hall to which you can bring or pick up fresh produce. Any leftovers at the end of the morning will be brought to Indwell. This is another way God is blessing us to be community together! CLASSIC CAR OWNERS: On Sept 10 from 2 – 6pm Maranatha is hosting a community BBQ and one of the things that we are planning is to show classic cars or motorbikes; the idea is to have something of interest for the men of our community.
