ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR JUNE 8, 2025

Due to our next Administrative Council meeting being scheduled for the same week as VBS, it has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 17th at 6:00 p.m.

This coming week is our Ecumenical Vacation Bible School from 9:30 am-noon. Our theme this year is “Rocky Railway: Jesus’ Power Pulls Us Through.” If you are providing a Christmas tree, if you could assemble the tree today after service, that would be helpful. We will provide tags for families to attach to the trees to make returning easier. Those that still need to get your rooms ready can do so after worship/this afternoon. Anyone who can stick around after worship to see if the decorators need any assistance, please do so. If you have volunteered to assist this coming week, please wear your VBS Volunteer black shirts all week (or get one downstairs) and stop downstairs on Monday morning to get your name tag and view your assigned spot. Please try to be here by 9:00 a.m. the first day to welcome our kids and get organized. Thank you so much to all our helpers!

Does anyone have a small helium tank we could borrow for VBS? We only need it to fill up one balloon! Please let Lori Clay know if you can help out.

We will share highlights of our VBS week and honor all our fathers and father figures at next Sunday’s worship service.

June-July newsletters are now available at the back of church and online.

Please continue to see the lawn mowing signup sheet on the Narthex bulletin board.
