Thanks for Coming Out to the Cookout!


We had a great time on Sunday, eating together and enjoying each other’s company at the Summer Community Cookout! The kids bounced around in a bounce-house castle (which kind of resembled a mini-Duke Memorial if you look at it the right way), and we all played yard games, ate snow cones, and even got our faces painted.  The best part was meeting so many new people and getting to know some of our neighbors better. As part of our 2012 Mission Theme, “Who is My Neighbor? Listening, Learning and Living with Our City,” this was indeed what we were hoping to get out of our first “Celebration” – to welcome new people to our church and share our lives with each other. Thank you to everyone who helped with the setup, break-down, food prep, and showing generous hospitality to our guests!
