Life can be a wild ride and at Splash Canyon VBS kids will learn that God is with them no matter what! Please help us in this summer outreach event July 29-Aug 1.  We need a few more volunteers in various areas. Please see the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board or talk to Thomas or Carla.

 

TODAY we are collecting Mites for the LWML Mission Grants. The large mite box is in the narthex. Thank you.

 

 

The Book to Know group will meet July 12, 7:00 pm at Gretchen Zitterich’s home to discuss “In the Presence of My Enemies” by Gracia Burnham.  Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.

LWML Mite Sunday will be the first Sunday of each month, beginning in July.  To aid in the transition, the large mite box will be out the first and last Sundays for a couple of months.

 

 

Have you thought about serving on the Altar Guild or are you interested in learning more about the Altar Guild? We are looking for more members. If you are interested or have questions, please feel free to talk to any of the Altar Guild members or chairman, Judy Peter.

 

 

 

Please check the sample church directory in the narthex to make sure your contact information is correct.  Many people are getting rid of their land lines, so please make sure we have a correct phone number for you.  Many people are including their email addresses, so please consider if you would like your email address added. Thank you.

Looking for a way to serve?  We need people to serve Sunday morning coffee at 9:45 am on  July 22 and 29. The sheet is posted on the bulletin board.

 

10% of your bill at Texas Road House is donated back to the church on any Sunday when you bring the current Sunday bulletin and show it to the restaurant. This is an ongoing fundraiser for all youth projects.

 

On Communion Sundays we now offer gluten-free wafers as an option. If you would like the gluten-free wafer, please point to the special container in the center of the tray of wafers, or say “gluten-free” to the elder distributing the wafers.
