Pig Roast

Ankeny UCC is Returning to Creation (and Hog Roasts)

Greetings in Christ-

This is it! An annual event where we get to put ourselves out into the community, invite folks in from outside, and live our mission to serve beyond (and have fun while doing it). The Deacons, the Howiesons, and others have been hard at work rolling out the red carpet for the Hog Roast, a number of you have been out selling tickets and signing up to bake pies, and so let’s come together in fellowship and joy, and invite our friends and neighbors as we come together to remember the hungry, the oppressed, the widow, the orphan, and the prisoner served by the BackPack Program and Doctors Without Borders.

And then on Sunday, celebrate the beginning of our program year! Choir rehearsal is tonight for the first Anthem on Sunday, and our classrooms are all ready for our Sunday School students. If you’ve got a chance, head on over to https://www.ankenyucc.org/education/registration 
so we can do some final adjustments to our classrooms.

Blessings,
Nathan

Lots of News!

Youth Group! Sunday School is back! Pig Roast! and more!

 

The week of September 12 is going to be a big one at Ankeny UCC! We’re kicking off the church year with the return of the choir, the launch of our brand-new Sunday School curriculum, and the launch of our ecumenical youth group with St. Anne’s in the Fields (Episcopal)! Wednesday the 10th, we have the first of our Wednesday dinners (a potluck), and Friday the 12th, just before the Ankeny Jaguar-Ankeny Hawk football game, we’ll be hosting our first-ever tailgate pig roast. Sign up sheets for coleslaw and pies are on the bulletin board, and we’ll need some folks to help set up and break down (and everyone to invite your friends!). Proceeds for the Ankeny BackPack Program and Ankeny UCC Christian Education.
