Gateway Church Family,
Hymn Sing – This Friday night 9/14 at 6:30 PM will be an amazing evening of the old beloved hymns. This swanky musical performance will be presented by the lovely and talented Linda Wallace and the Gateway Song and Dance Troupe. Get there early because Pastor Roger, Pastor Rick and Sara will be doing complimentary valet parking.
(I’m not responsible for the outrageous claims made in this ad)
Musical Choir Rehearsal - There will be NO Christmas Musical Choir Rehearsal this Thursday at 4:30 as originally announced. Instead, the first rehearsal will be Sunday, Sept. 30 @ 4:30 PM and will continue on Sundays @ 4:30PM.
(I’m not responsible for this disappointing piece of news either…just so you know)
Work and Witness – 29Palms – This Saturday 9/15 a team from Gateway will be road-tripping to 29 Palms to work on the parsonage and other items of importance to Steve and Peggie Webb. So, get your tool box, cleaning supplies, lunch box and a muscle shirt and let’s go.
Call Larry Upson for details as-soon-as right now. 951-679-3103 home or 951-813-9417 cell.
Names are starting to pour in so be sure you don’t miss out.
Our upcoming membership class will be performed by Pastor Mel Rich who will be teaching and doing the honors…so brace yourself.
Call the office today or put your name in the offering plate…no charge.
Housekeeping and Stop Doing It Section – Just a couple items on minor things of great importance to tell you about.
Announcements from the Platform – As you know it’s the Associate Pastor’s job to say YES to everything that is asked of them. It’s my job to undo that. Hey, I didn’t write the rules. So, on Sunday mornings please don’t ask Pastor Roger or Pastor Wally to make or add announcements. If it is urgent or error-correcting see Pastor Rick and he will clear it with command (that would be Sara). If you want to make an announcement get to the office early the week before and talk to Joan and she will direct your path.
Please be aware or perish…you may not use meeting rooms or classrooms without prior scheduling with the office. And that is Joan, she is the office. Reasons: rooms are often set up for groups an hour later or day later and if you change the room or mess it up…well let’s just say Pastor Roger will be sad to get called in to do a redo. This also goes for after hours when no one is around; we may have the NAZ district coming in the morning to discuss things of questionable importance.
If you are the user of a room that you scheduled, you and your group are responsible for returning it to its original set up. And most importantly, you are responsible for cleaning, washing the dishes, cleaning tables and counter tops, etc. There is an EXITING chart in every room indicating what you need to do when your group (from 2 to 300 persons) is finished. All of this labor costs the church money if we have to use our employees to do this. But that doesn’t mean we don’t love you it’s just personal not business. Please don’t leave dishes etc. in the sink. If you don’t want to wash, dry and put away that’s fine. Just ask someone else if they will do it for you. That’s just being thoughtful.
