Begins August 27, 2008
Dinner 5:50 - 6:30 p.m.
Join us for our annual WOW cookout. We'll have burgers and dogs and all
the trimmings.
Plan to stay for choirs and adult ed.
WOW, do we have some great news! WOW has ‘gone green!'

As you come through the Garden Room on Wednesday evening,
a delicious smell is the first thing you'll notice. This is from the fragrant
home cooked meals each week. Then you'll hear the light clink and tinkle
of.....porcelain, glass and stainless... In order to lessen the Eco-footprint of
WOW dinner, WOW has switched from Styrofoam and plastic to non-disposables. An
especially HUGE thank you goes out to Fred Zander who has graciously offered to
wash all those dishes most Wednesday evenings. So join us for WOW dinner and
GET SOME SPIRIT IN YOUR WEEK!
WOW Dinner is served continuously 5:50 - 6:30 p.m. each Wednesday that
school is in session.
Cost is $2.50 per person or maximum $10 per family.

Religious Pilgrimage Planned by Senior High Youth
The Senior Highs are going on a religious pilgrimage -- to the land of Luther
and Calvin.
Next March during spring break, they will travel to Switzerland and Germany
to explore the roots of the radical Reformation that gave birth to the
Presbyterian Church. We still have room for a few more youth and adults. If your
high school student is interested, please contact Betsy Guyer, Dr. McDonald or
Marge soon.
Coming this autumn: God is love -- experience it! Details coming soon.
