Body Building:  Connecting the Body Church Picnic:  “Body Building” is based on Ephesians 4:16  ”From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”  -Ephesians 4:16 (NIV)

 

It is time for our annual Church Picnic!  After we feed our Supernatural bodies with the Word of God we can have some apple pie too!   Please join us this Sunday September 11th after the morning Worship Service for lots of great food, and great company!  Don’t forget to bake a pie for the annual Apple Pie Contest!  Please bring a salad or chips AND a dessert to share.

We also have some  great games for all ages and physical abilities.
- Can you roll a marble down the table and make it stick to the tape?
- Can you balance 6 hangers, one from the other, but only in the center?
- How about transferring M&M’s with a straw?

Can’t wait to see you there it will be fun!
