We are excited about the wild
adventure we will be having this year at VBS. Be sure to mark
these dates on your calendar! Monday-Friday July 6-10.
We will be having VBS Sunday where the kids will sing and share
what they have learned on Sunday July 12th
during morning worship.
We still are looking for the
people to help. If you are willing to help with decorations,
lead a group of kids to the different rotations during the day,
or help with crafts--please contact Karrie Seagren. We are also
looking for large sheets of cardboard (like appliances or moving
boxes).
Attention Junior and Senior
Youth! Please see Karrie if you would like to have a “wild time”
with us in VBS!

Church Picnic: Sun. June 14...
Once again, God blessed us with a dry picnic event
immediately followed by a downpour! Our new venue was Strabane Park.
The facilities were enjoyed by all (playground, walking path,
basketball court, baseball diamonds, kitchen facilities,
washrooms). There were activities for children and
adults and the food was plentiful and delicious.
Following the food and activities,
we all participated in a worship service.
With the congregation's help,
Pastor Stan recounted the creation story.
The children enthusiastically
helped B.A.C.K. lead the music. The service over,
everything was packed up in record time as the rain
began.
Many thanks
to Mike & Alice Coyne for organizing the event.
