CREEK UPDATES

*Family Reunion - formerly known as Family Dinner

Mark your calendars for our "Family Reunion" church celebration (formerly known as Family Dinner) on Sunday, August 26th! Come join your fellow Currey Creek Church members as we celebrate and highlight what God has done in our church this year. We will enjoy fellowship together, present building updates, introduce elders, renew membership and much more. This event will take place from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. in the Worship Center with a dessert social to follow the meeting. Please RSVP at www.curreycreek.com/familyreunion.

*Volunteers Needed for a Foster/Adoptive Parent Night Out

Our first event is scheduled for THIS Friday, July 20th. Volunteers will work from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We need adults and teens 15 years and up to help with this event. For questions or to volunteer, please email Jenny Featherston at jfeatherston@curreycreek.com. The mission of Foster/Adoptive Parent Night Out (FAPNO) is to provide support and respite for the parents who serve our community's foster children. Parents receive an evening to have a break while volunteers care for their children. FAPNO also provides children the opportunity to build healthy relationships with other adults who care for them in a safe, nurturing environment.

*Prayer requests

Just a reminder that we would love to pray for you if you have a specific prayer request. There is a prayer request portion onthe left side of the bulletin that you can fill out in church and place in the offering boxes or you can email your prayer request anytime to prayer@curreycreek.com.

*Small Group Leader Interest

Have you felt a tug at your heart to start a small group? Have you been involved in small groups and are ready to take the next step into leadership? We would love to set up a meeting with you to discuss our heart for small groups at Currey Creek and how you can begin this fall. For more information, email Jared at jpatrick@curreycreek.com.
