4th of July... feedback

Brad Says...
I think either B or C. A would work if it were more a family or all church thing. Otherwise, attendance might be an issue.

Joan Says...
Its 12:21 am July 1st and ooops, I'm 21 minutes late...oh me, oh my, a dollar short and a day late!!! My appologies again...I'm down for either options A or B.

Jeff Rigler says...
For this weekend, if we haven't planned and prepared for Sat., we might opt not to tie up everyone's day. Just trying to be sensitive to everyone.

Lynn says...
The Encarnacion's and the Palacio's are starting the 3 day weekend early... we're heading out of town on Thursday. We won't be back until Sunday night.

Orlando says...
I'm always down for the idea of a bbq or picnic, even if it's last minute. I've got a small grill (but don't know where the charcoal is) and a volleyball set.

Jamie says...
I'm down with option A. What's 4th of July without a bar-b-q, fireworks, and friends?

Carol says...

Bummer . . . . What happened to the BBQ? Oh well, as an outreach, it seemed like the 4th would have a lot of other plans in play any way. Maybe the neighborhood outreach can be combined with youth events on the 11th? If so, have the youth advertise around the neighborhood after church on the 5th (remember, put them to work! Work builds character and we don't want a bunch of kids who are used to being catered to--that can get kind of ugly!)

As for this weekend, you guys have been working really hard. I would say you deserve a rest.

Alternatively, if people were planning on coming out to the church on Saturday (and looking forward to it?) then they'll be scrambling around to make last minute plans for the 4th. If there's a large enough group (invite everyone, not just youth,) then option A sounds doable. But I would have the families do most of the work. The NLCotNYWaH still deserve to rest as much as possible--don't you think?!

Finally, option B is also good since we have an unusually unscheduled weekend.

Okay, so we'll be there no matter what you decide and we're free to help in whatever capacity you need. (Don't hesitate to ask!)
