Fifth Sunday Special Days

Your generosity of spirit and willingness to set aside your preferences and practices for a few weeks allowed us this past July to have a grand time worshipping as one body all at the same time. We recognize what a sacrifice Sunday School classes made and are deeply appreciative. Thank you again for your generosity and to all those who gave their time, talent, and leadership to help us those Sundays, we are so very grateful!   Your Cook’s Church Council talked about the benefit of such a time at both July and August Council meetings. In reflection and wisdom, the Council recommends incorporating more times of fellowship and celebration of unity into the life of our Church family. Here goes …   We will set aside 5th Sundays as a special time of unified worship and intentional fellowship beginning Sunday September 29. Our schedule for that Sunday will be:   8:45 am Sunday School in our designated places 10:00 am Worship in Friendship Hall Followed by Table Fellowship with ‘Dinner on the Grounds’ (Please bring a side or a dessert to add to the fare.)   Please note that Sunday School classes will meet as individual classes in their designated spaces; we’ve asked you to meet before worship to make the transition to a meal a bit easier.   {Our last 5th Sunday of the year will be December 29. We’ll have details about that day of worship and fellowship ready for you at the beginning of Advent.]
