Welcome Back Picnic We are pleased to collaborate with the Andrews University 150th Celebration Committee to welcome our students back to campus! To make August 24th special, we'll need volunteers in various capacities. If you're extroverted, hosting a table might be the perfect volunteer role for you. If you're introverted but enjoy
volunteering in other ways, maybe cooking a lasagna or setting up the lemonade
is the role for you! Either way, you are welcome to sign up by texting the word
"PICNIC" to 269.281.2345.

Something in Common SS Sabbath Mornings • 10:30–11:30 AM
Pioneer Room 141 We are starting a new 3 week video series by Andy Stanley titled "Crazy Like Us": We all think we are. Few of us actually are.

Everyone is welcome in Pioneer Room 141 from 10:30-11:30 AM on Sabbath mornings.
