The church office will be closed Tuesday, July 4th, for the Fourth of July holiday.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

This is a free family event and EVERY-

ONE is invited. An adult must be pre-

sent with their children. On this night

we will show the movie “Brother Bear.”

Snacks (smores, popcorn and drinks)

will be provided. Bring you sleeping

bag!

Parents...Please join us on the last

night of VBS at 7:30 in the sanctuary

and see what the kids have learned.

Kitchen donations are due by Sunday, July 9th. If you signed up to bring items, please have them here by that date so that the kitchen ladies will know what they still need to purchase. If you have any questions, see Dorothy Huntley or Betty Shuler. If you have camping items that you could let us borrow for decorations, it would be very appreciated. We also need one or two small tents. Items can be dropped off in the church library and picked back up in the library after VBS. Postcards will be available in the foyer on the front table. Please take a few and pass them out to friends, neighbors, kids, grandkids and relatives. Remember, VBS is for kids entering kindergarten and those that have just completed the 6th grade.
