Brunson, Em Moore, and Melanie Cole for sharing their musical skills as

Children’s Ministry Summer Camp Parent - Child Meeting

We will meet on Sunday, June 7, at 5 p.m. in the Cafe for our Children's Summer Camp informational

meeting. We will discuss the specifics of camp, how to pack, and how to prepare for this year’s summer

camps. It is very important that each child and parent that are attending a summer camp this summer attend

this meeting. If you are unable to attend, please contact Jason Mercer to insure you have all the required

information for this year’s camps.

Camp Splish Splash will run through both June and July in our preschool Sunday School and introduce our

preschoolers to lots of interactive Bible stories that all teach us God's way is perfect. They all have something

else in common -- water! In June, preschoolers will hear about Noah, his ark, the multitude of animals and the

rainbow. This one's always a preschool favorite, Noah's story is such a great one of how one man

trusted God and did extraordinary things. And, the animals - they're lots of fun too.
