Hello Church,
We have a great week coming up! Today starts VBS! In fact, its beginning in a few hours of when this email was sent. Be sure to bring your kids, grandkids, or other kids that you know. If you want to come and help out, or just see what’s going on, come on out. We’ll get started at 10am down int the jungle….er, Fellowship Hall.
Our High School Youth are meeting right after VBS lets out and we’ll head over to Ma Vic’s for lunch. So, if you’re a high school youth (or know one) send them our direction.
And don’t forget that the fun doesn’t end with VBS. Throughout the rest of the month we’ll have Storytime at the Ark on Tuesday mornings at 10am. Its going to be fun!
Important Announcements
Be sure to take a look at the sign-ups, and take a look at the flyer for the Mobility Worldwide fundraiser going on next Sunday in Columbia. Also below I’ve got some links to several videos
Sign-Ups
There are sign-up sheets in the back for Celebrate Recovery. This includes volunteer leaders for meals for the next six months. There is also a jar for monetary donations.
We also have a sign up for the Sharing Table for this Summer.
You can sign up to help water the garden this Summer in the back of the sanctuary, or go to Garden Watering. When you do that, check the box for the week(s) that you’ll water, then click submit and sign-up at the bottom of your screen. You don’t need an account to sign-up (but you can create one if you want).
Finally, we’re looking for folks that would like to serve communion and anyone who would like to help get the bread and the juice ready for communion Sundays. You can sign-up in the back of the Sanctuary, or by clicking here.
Parting Shot
You can see more videos below about Mobility Worldwide, but here are a couple of shots from our Mission Breakfast on Sunday. We had a good breakfast, learned more about Mobility, and got just a bit of a preview, from the decorations, of what VBS is going to look like.

Take a look at a few videos from Mobility Worldwide. One is what we watched at the Mission Breakfast, and the others show both carts similar to ours and one has a familiar face
You don’t have to go far for this one! We’ll be here at our own church on Aug. 4th. Sign-up to come and spend the day learning and talking with other folks from other churches like ours.
Send a note or a message to these folks!
Get caught up!
You can always get caught up on sermons if you’re behind. Each Sunday’s message is posted by Friday of the next week (most of the time much sooner than that).
Also, here is the physics video that I talked about on Sunday
