GO!

With Us Tonight

Join us for GO! tonight and experience a whole new

style of service and outreach…
one that will make a big impact on the recipient and on you, too.
Groups will go out to sing at Eskaton, others will stay to knit
for the sick and homeless, some will go to visit our guests, and
others will work on sending cards to those who have been absent.
So many options, which one will you choose?

GO! is designed to help us serve both our members and those

in our community. We want to be active in our lives as we
demonstrate our faith.
C H U R C H O F C H R I S T
Maybe you have an idea of a new type of ministry.
Come tonight and share your idea. March 27, 2011
