This year’s Summer Sunset Festival (at Miller Park in Lake-in-the Hills) will be held on Friday, September 4th through Sunday, September 6thChrist United Methodist Church will be working a craft table in the Kids’ Korner on  Saturday (11am-5pm) and Sunday (1-5pm).  We need volunteers on both of these days to work in two-hour time slots.  There’s a sign-up sheet on the Mission Team’s bulletin board (by Pastor Ron’s office).  We’ll be making Yarns Stars and God’s Eyes – all craft materials will be provided.

Kim Aupperle is going to screen print the church logo on 100 promotional recycle hand-out grocery bags which will be passed out from our craft table at the Kid’s Korner on Saturday and Sunday.  Kim is asking the church as a whole: all small groups or event teams to provide ready-to-print brochures or flyers (in a PDF format) with details and information about any church events, small group, or children/youth events.

The church office will take care of printing your group or event PDF brochure/flyer; (please note: they’ll be black and white on colored paper).  These promotional items will be distributed in the hand-out bags, so this is your opportunity to share your group/event information with the visitors at the Festival.  A reminder for all small groups: be sure to include your meeting dates and times (if you only meet for a portion of the year, please provide that information, as well).  You can either send the PDF of your promotional brochure/flyer to the church office at christumcalgonquin@gmail.com, or send it to Kim at kimberlyaupp@yahoo.comPlease send them as soon as possible. 

We’re also going to have a Brain Storming Session for designing these hand-out promotional bags on Monday, August 10th from 6:30 until 7:30pm — everyone is invited to attend this meeting!  Be sure to contact Kim if you have any questions at kimberlyaupp@yahoo.com.  (call the church office at 847-669-9009 if you need Kim’s phone number)
