CHURCH NEWS July 1, 2007
This is your last chance to sign-up for the Progressive Potluck Picnic (July 8th). We need you to call the church or sign-up on the Friendship register if you plan on attending and you will be assigned some food to bring. You will also want to bring a lawn chair for yourself, if you have one.
Vacation Bible School is July 9-13, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon ages 5yrs to 5th grade. 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. Pre-registration helps our planning. Registration blanks are on the table by the office. Invite friends or kids you know in the neighbourhood.
We are under budgeted a bit for VBS. If you would like to give an extra donation to help with the cost please designate it for "VBS" on your check or pew envelope. Thank you.
