Wednesday Nights
This Summer
Beginning June 3rd, we
will be starting our summer
Wednesday night schedule. We
will not be having meals, but we will be having some-
thing for everyone at 6:30 p.m. In the past, we have not
had activities for kids, but this summer we will be
providing a mission activity for kids during the 6:30
hour so kids have something to do while parents are in
the mid-week celebration service.
If your child has been part of Mission Friends, they will
be meeting in the 3 year old room for a fun time of
“exploration” of God’s great world. And for all those
who were a part of K-BAM and GA’s, we will meet in
the King’s Kids hallway to participate in a mission pro-
ject every week.
