Church Notes For Aug. 19
Hey, come and hang out at Zerger Field tonight! The Pratt County Relay for Life will begin at 7 pm, Friday, August 19 at Zerger Field. Our First UMC team is called, “The Yellow Brick Road of Hope” Team; and we are selling Historical Main St. Bricks for a donation of $10. These are adorable and can be used for décor, as a door stop, a weight lifting tool, and most of all as a memory. We are also selling “Sloppy Dots” (the sister to Sloppy Joe), Aunt Em’s Nachos, and Tornadoes at our Aunt Em’s House (in the field concession stand) beginning at 6 pm. We’d love to have you join us! Come help us raise funds to bring hope and wipe out cancer!!
