July 6 Fireworks in Eton!

I am still in awe at how incredible our folks did at the fireworks in Chatsworth last Saturday afternoon and night. It was SO STINKIN' HOT and nobody complained and even more than that, it was FUN! Our silly attempts to keep cool led to us spraying folks as they went by which ended up being incredibly well received! While I can't totally connect the two, Sunday was among our largest 'holiday' weekend services ever. Just saying.


Our return to the Rec on Sunday was nothing short of spectacular. Watching entire families [young children to the not-so-young] work together to clean up the Rec in over 100 degree weather, and again no complaining was a true picture of the church serving the community.


That said, this Friday, July 6th, is the fireworks celebration at Eton Park in Eton. We will again have a booth setup to focus on helping kids and their families enjoy this event and 'wander the park' to simply help people have a great time. [We will not be giving away water at this event] Here are the details:

• FRIDAY Afternoon
• We will begin setting up at 5pm at the Park. We will not know our exact location until then. Feel free to call my cell phone - 706.264.4196 if you can't find us.
• We are asking our folks to wear the matching t-shirts throughout the day. We still have some shirts available and they will be ready at the booth at 5:30 and they are first come first serve for sizes. If you already have a shirt please save the remainder for new folks. There is no charge for the shirts for Rock Bridge'ers
• The basic plan is to hang out and show people our Christ filled lives and have fun together [Again, we will not be giving away water at this event]
• We need two folks [each hour] to commit for one hour during the following hours:
• 6-7
• 7-8
• 8-9
• 9-10 [Chatsworth started the fireworks at 10:15ish - I suspect the same will be true here]
• POST FIREWORKS [A FEW EXTRA HERE TO HELP CLEAR OUT WOULD HELP]
• PLEASE EMAIL ME at gus@rockbridge.cc IF YOU CAN DO ONE OF THOSE SLOTS!
• The success of our 'water-squirting' last Saturday leads me to believe we will do this again so If you can bring a cooler FILLED with ice it will help a TON to keep some bottled water [for our volunteers], us and others cool

This is going to be another great night and I am excited to hang out with you!
