Final Family Fun Sunday of the summer!<br />
Sunday, <strong>August</strong> 28, after worship<br />
The last Family Fun Sunday of the summer is coming up on<br />
Sunday, <strong>August</strong> 28th. Because we expect it to be hot, we are<br />
going to be doing some all-ages water games, such as oldfashioned<br />
water balloon toss, relay races, and more. Popsicles<br />
and ice cream sandwiches will be available for everyone.<br />
Don’t miss this final fun fling for all ages!<br />
