Brush Up Nebraska Paint-a-thon is in it’s 22nd year! Painting days are approaching quickly!  The Paint-a-thon will be held on Saturday, August 7 (prep day) and August 14 (paint day).  BRUSH UP NEBRASKA Paint-A-Thon is a community based volunteer program that paints the homes of low-income elderly and low-income disabled homeowners so that they may maintain their property, increase energy efficiency, and beautify the community.  Painting their home creates a new sense of pride for the homeowners, and benefits the area.  Countryside’s own Tom and Sheila Pettigrew, Executive Director of BRUCH UP NEBRASKA, shared that in past 21 years. Over 2,273 homes have been painted by the volunteers participating in BRUSH UP NEBRASKA. Sign up today as we help others in helping themselves!   www.BRUSHUPNEBRASKA.org

The Phoenix Affirmation small groups are forming for a 12 week study this summer.  If you were unable to participate previously, this is a great opportunity for you to jump in!  Groups are forming currently and will begin study during the week of June 2, 2010.  The small groups consist of 10-12 individuals who meet on a weekly basis for approximately 1 hour either in someone’s home, the church, a restaurant or even in the park!  Sign ups are available by contacting Mary Beth at 391-0350 ext. 112 or at marybethl@countrysideucc.org, by calling the church office or by signing up after church services.  Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in fellowship with others, deepen your own spirituality and have a great time doing so.

Bad Boys of the Bible small group is an eight week worship series and small group study.  Each week in worship, the focus is on a different “bad boy” from Scripture – normally, a well-known person who was strong and faithful in certain respects, yet weak and challenged in others.  Through their triumphs and tragedies, you’ll come to understand your own struggles in a different light, providing wisdom, challenge, and hope in your daily walk.
