THE ALTAR GUILD STORAGE ROOM HAS BEEN REMODELED
Thank you, Lynda Kyes, for designing and building a new cabinet for the
Alter Guild storage room. Lynda is a gifted carpenter and has used her
talents to build a storage cabinet for paraments and linens that is easily
accessible to our Altar Guild members. Thank you, John Strang, for
removing the old cabinet and helping Lynda.
The Board of Properties, led by their Chairperson, Donna Swift is rehabilitating the church grounds. These last two weeks they have been planting the entire University Dr. side of the church. A week or so ago they removed a lot of scrub palms, rotten roots and debris. There will be some much-needed tree trimming, lawn restoration and power washing.
And another group emerges from the

SUMMER CAMP After much consideration, planning, and prayer, we are pleased to announce that our Preschool Summer Camp will be open on a modified and downsized basis for our enrolled students. Camp Wonder will be available for our older PreK Campers and Camp Curious for our littlest PreK Campers beginning Monday, June 8. We are working on providing a link on the school website (https://oslplantation.school ) Following CDC and State guidelines - our preschool camps will remain in intimate groups: one adult to nine children in Camp Wonder; and one adult to six children in Camp Curious. Due to health precautions, these small groups will remain stable throughout the week and not co-mingle. Call the school office for more information. 954-370-2161
