WORSHIP ON THE GREEN GAME PLAN FOR LIFE COME PRAY WITH US WEDNESDAY MORNING BREAKFAST
1 WORSHIP ON THE GREEN St. Matthew’s will reach out to the community on Sunday September 6 when we will conduct the 11:00 a.m. service on the lawn between Sussex Lane and Annapolis Road (across from the Bowie Library). Worship will be held under a large tent and Pastor Daniel has promised to keep the servicer to 45 minutes with a fellowship period following the service. All we ask of worshippers is to bring a chair to sit on. Also, dress casually and if you have a St. Matthew’s tshirt, please wear it. The UMW will be helping with refreshments and we need some men to help in the library parking lot as well as helping people cross the street safely. Contact Ray Denmark to volunteer to help out. Since parking is in the library parking lot, we are also asking people to shop at the Farmer’s Market to show our community support. You can get some very good locally grown food at the Farmer’s Market. So bring a chair and join us for “Worship on the Green”. AND INVITE A FRIEND/NEIGHBOR. The 8:30 worship service on that date will still be held in the church Sanctuary.
2 COMING IN THE FALL – JUST FOR MEN
Beginning September 16, we will be diving into an exciting new study by Coach Joe Gibbs. You remember Joe, coach of the Super Bowl-winning Washington Redskins as well as NASCAR fame. Coach Gibbs is an established winner and his six-week course is designed to help us win in the game of life. He assembled a team of experts to tackle the key areas of life a man needs to grasp in order to be victorious. His team identified 11 most important issues facing men today. Volume 1, which we are offering this fall, will look into six of those 11 issues: Finances, God, Creation, the Bible, Sin and Addiction, and Salvation. NOW IS THE TIME TO SIGN UP FOR THIS SIX-WEEK STUDY AND GET IN THE BIGGEST GAME OF ALL! Wednesdays beginning September 16 at 7:30 p.m. Study manuals are $9.00. If you want more, you may also purchase on your own the book by Coach Gibbs which was the basis for this study – Game Plan for Life: Your Personal Playbook for Success. For more information, and to sign up for the class, contact Ray Denmark at (301) 651-3643 or
