First United Methodist Church on Front Street in Coushatta will hold their annual Back to School Bash on Sunday. There will be water slides and games and a hamburger supper for children and adults beginning at 5:00 pm on Sunday August 6th. The Back to School Bash has been held for a number of years at First Methodist Church. It caps a weekend full of activities for children in our town including a Lock-In at the church from 6:00 pm Friday night to 7:00 am Saturday morning. Children in grades six through twelve are invited. For the young students age 4 years through the 5th grade there will be a Camp Out at the church Sunday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. The Back to School Bash for the public schools was on Monday. See the separate story for details.

There will be a benefit for Andres Tullis Bogan on August 12th at Robert Watson’s shop on Layfield Road. Bogan suffers from Cancer and proceeds will go to help the family with medical costs. Contact is Bimbo Thomas at 318-201-5231 or DJ Bogan at 318-553-2658.

Our Congressman, Mike Johnson, will be in Coushatta Wednesday. He is holding a town hall meeting at 9:30 at the library.

Here is a note from Lauri at Open Door Fellowship:
THIS SATURDAY-6PM
OPEN DOOR FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
285 ESPERANZA RD
UNITED is a Night of Worship hosted at Open Door Fellowship.
It is a Parish-wide invitation to UNITE under the cross of Christ to worship His name and proclaim his death, burial and resurrection.
UNITED will be led by Caleb Willis, Minister of Music; Fairview Baptist Church and Juliana Handy of Open Door Fellowship.
Caleb and Juliana have organized a volunteer worship team consisting of instrumentalists/vocalists from area churches.
We’re believing that this night of worship is going to be an incredible encounter with the presence of God as we UNITE and seek His face together.
