CHURCH NEWS June 17, 2007
There are Book Marks with all the Missions we have supported on the Welcome Center for you to take in honor of our Centennial.
It's time to start signing-up for our FUN POTLUCK PROGRESSIVE PICNIC July 8th. We will carpool following the worship service, take a tour of Jim and Sandee Freese's orchard, have salad course there and then drive to Hidden Hills where Ron and Martha Thomas will provide hotdogs with the main course and dessert. We need you to sign-up on the Friendship Register if you plan to come and you will be assigned some food to bring. After your name put PPP and the number in your family attending. If you wish to ride the Blue Angel Can, put "Van" after your name. You will also want to bring a lawn chair for yourself, if you have one.
Our church is hosting the Presbytery of Central Washington , June 26th. The women of our church are putting on a luncheon for the Presbytery. If you are interested in making a dessert or a salad for the luncheon call the church office or put "salad" or "dessert" on the Friendship Register. Phyllis or Rosa will call you and let you know what kind to bring. Thank you for your help
Vacation Bible School is July 9-13, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. Matthew and Tanya Hiller and family of Selah Children’s Puppet ministries from Oregon will be here again this year to put on our
VBS. This year’s VBS theme is Ready, Set, Go for Jesus. Ready refers to our personal relationship with God, understanding His forgiveness and grace. Set, refers to going deep into God’s word and worship of Him. Go, refers to going out and telling others about God. They will be doing drama skits, Bible readings, object lessons, face puppet skits, quiz games and a lot more puppets. It should be lots of fun. Preregistering helps our planning. Registration blanks are on the table by the office. Invite friends or kids you know in the neighbourhood.
Christian Community Activities for the Summer:
The College & Career Christian Fellowship, Tuesdays, 6:45 pm.
Community Teen Youth Group each Wednesday evening, 7:00 am. Both at the park by our church. (Our Middle School Youth Group will continue meeting at the church.)
Sign up for a Pastoral Visit – As Ken mentioned in the newsletter, he and Polly would like to do some "just checking in" kind of visits this summer. Each week we'll have available times at the Welcome Center with a sign-up sheet. We have just two requests:
good food, we are constantly struggling to keep
our weight down and if we have two or three
appointments a day with dessert at each one,
we’ll “explode!”
Care Net – This is the Sunday to return your baby bottles. If you forgot them, they will be accepted next week also.
Do you know of a graduate whether high school or college that is part of our church family in some way? Please let Lance know or the church office so we can honor them. Thank you.
