Runners. . . and Walkers - Show your colors. Spirit Garage Logo Shirts Available.

Fri, 16 May 2008 17:06:16 -0400

There are a number of runners and walkers that take part in a local race. You're invited to tell everyone about Spirit Garage as you run by them, or in my case, as they run by me. A local screen printer is giving us this one time offer, all we need to do is supply the shirts. It will be black print, front and back. By Sunday, June 15, bring your shirt to Worship or contact Rob 612-312-3419 to order one online. Virginia likes the idea of everyone wearing yellow - but being the church with the really big door, all colors are welcome (Just remember printing will be in black).
