Happy Fourth of July! We hope you're having a delightful time celebrating our nation's independence with your friends and family. As you wrap up the celebrations today, we hope you start to think about your plans to join us for the Clearnote Homecoming this Saturday. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Please RSVP right here. Of course, there is no charge to attend. But we'd love to get a good estimate of the number of people coming, so help us out!
- If you're coming in from out of town, and you haven't arranged lodging yet, please contact the church office right away. You can reach the office by email (churchoffice@clearnote.org) or phone (812-825-2684). There are local families who would love to host you, and our secretary can help you get connected.
- Double-check the schedule! We have a fun-filled day planned, and the schedule has now been posted on Facebook, on our website, and in this post. You can't miss it.
- Lunch is provided for free, and sweet carnival treats will also be free, but a for-pay concession stand will be open from 2-6 pm. We'll be selling delicious hotdogs and brats for dinner, as well as nachos and cold sodas. Please plan to stick around!
We can't wait to see you!
