Family Game Day. One of the goals you gave the Leadership Team was to provide ways that we might spend time together as a church family. We are planning a family game day on Sunday, May 22nd. It will begin with a carry-in meal right after church. Each family should bring something to share – something hot, or something cold, or both – and we will gather for a meal together. After the meal, we will start with a simple game that helps us get to know one another a little better. Following this, we will have board games to play, a couple of video games set up, games for the children, and perhaps even a table set up for Dutch Blitz (we’ll stick that over in the corner somewhere☺). We really hope you can come. Stay as long as you can, but come and be part of our church family. We love it when you are here!

ATTENTION GRADUATES

We are looking for any high school

or college graduates, as we wish to

honor them on June 5th. Please

give the names to Linda Zumbrum

if you know of anyone graduating.

HOSPITALITY TABLE

There will be no hospitality table during the summer months. If anyone would like to make a donation for the

hospitality table, please see Ted Schmittel.

As kids submerge themselves in God’s Word, they will discover that Jesus didn’t just see what’s on

grab your goggles, step into your flippers, and dive in to find

truth below the surface!

If you are interested in helping at VBS this year, please

contact Linda Fulmele or Nicole Grove

We are running the announcements on a power point pri-or to the worship service and after. If you have an an-nouncement you would like to add to the power point, please contact the church office no later than Thursday each week. If you have an announcement you would like to make in church during the worship service, please talk to the Worship Leader prior to the service.
