I’m looking forward to our annual Hot Doggin’ cookout and talent show. It is being held this coming Sunday (July 6) at Jack Dalton Park. We have the large pavilion reserved from 3:00 pm on, so feel free to come any time after that. Big Tom usually serves as our emcee for the talent show, but since Tom is on the mission field up in Chester, the baton is being passed to Brad Peters!

As in previous years, we’re on the prowl for hidden talent for our show, so if you would like to participate in the talent show, please let Brad or Don know no later than next Sunday. If you can sing, dance, play an instrument, or perform a skit involving Hershey’s chocolate syrup. . . okay, maybe not that far. . . we’d love for you to ham it up. . . Whether funny or serious, consider yourself officially invited to participate.

Here are some of the other highlights:

• Softball and Volleyball at 4:00 pm for whoever is interested.

• Men’s Dessert Competition - All of the Christ’s Church men are invited to pull out all the stops and prepare a dessert. The only rule is that your dessert cannot come straight out of the deli case at Wal Mart. We had some delicious entries last year! As in previous years, we’ll be judging (and ENJOYING!) the entries.

• Dinner at 5:00 pm under the large pavilion - hot dogs, chips, drinks and desserts. Suggested donation of $5 per person, $10 per family, all the proceeds go toward funding this summer’s mission trip.

• Home Run Derby immediately after the talent show.
