PRAISE & PRAYER

RESUMES THIS WEEK!

Mark your calendars for Mayfair’s annual “Big Day” on Sunday, August 24! We will welcome Randy Harris from Abilene Christian University as our guest speaker to conclude our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount. At the conclusion of worship, all adult Bible classes will meet in the Worship Center for a combined class with Randy. Following Bible class, everyone is invited to stay for a special church-wide “dinner on the grounds” on the back lawn.

“Big Day” promises to be a special time of family worship, encouragement, and fellowship for the entire Mayfair family. Make your plans to join us Sunday morning, August 24 at 9:00am — and bring a friend!

COMING

AUGUST 24th

TODAY IS CHILDREN’S BIBLE CLASS PROMOTION SUNDAYOur children (move to their new classrooms today during our 10:20 Bible classes! We look forward to an exciting quarter with a wonderful staff of teachers & helpers. Some things to note about today’s “Promotion Sunday”:

• You should have received a postcard indicating which Bible class your child will be moving into. If you don’t have that information with you, stop by our Downstairs Children’s Information Desk to find which class your child is moving into.

• There is no Celebration Station Today (Sunday AM Children’s Worship) to allow parents to escort their children from worship to their new classrooms.

• We ask for all parents to escort your child to/from class (Baby - 5th Grade) in order to locate their classroom and meet his/her new teacher.

• Please note that nurseries will be provided today for the new baby/toddlers for the 2014/15 school year. If your child is moving to a Preschool 2’s class, you will need to have your child with you in worship today.

• Those children moving into Kindergarten are reminded that your family will be invited to come to the front of the Worship Center at the end of worship services, for a prayer, and then you will take your Kindergarten children to C-120 at the beginning of Bible class for a special Farewell 4’s program.

It’s been a great summer, with a whirlwind of activities for all ages. As we return to our routine schedules of the school year, we turn our thoughts toward daily living for Christ. Praise & Prayer resumes this Wednesday Night with a special “Back To School” series of guest speakers. The lineup includes some familiar faces to Mayfair, all centering their thoughts around John 10 and finding the keys to a life that shines. Join us this Wednesday night for “Thrive! - Finding Strength For Everyday Life.”

PERFUME SENSITIVITES: DID YOU KNOW?Did you know that some people are highly sensitive to certain perfumes and colognes? Ever increasing allergy problems in our culture present serious issues for many of our church family, as well as our guests. Some of our members had a severe reaction to perfume in the building. We appreciate your consideration of this seemingly small issue that, for some who have allergic sensitivity, is a real problem. Thank you for making Mayfair a place where everyone can be comfortable and special.
