The entire community is invited to the sixth annual Round-Up Sunday Community Worship service on Sunday, September 11th at 10:30 a.m. at the Pendleton High School track facility. Many area churches have banded together to make this event a give to the community and we encourage everyone to attend. Guest speaker, Todd Pynch, is chaplain at Crisis Ministries in Salem. Middle and High School youth will meet in the PHS auditorium at

10:30 a.m. for their own special services. Children kindergarten through 5th grade will be dismissed during the worship service at approximately 11:05 to attend "Kids Church" at the old gym adjacent to the track. Following the service, a free lunch will be provided for all in attendance. During this fellowship time, Marty Campbell will provide some great music to enjoy this meal time even more. Bring your own lawn chairs, hats, blankets, umbrellas, etc. Golf cart

shuttles will easily provide access from the parking lot to the track for those who need it - in fact you can almost be taken directly to a chair if needed. A freewill offering will be accepted in celebration of the day. If you would like to help in some way, please contact Pastor Rick right away.
