Random Happenings

Boomerang Express
That's the theme for Vacation Bible School this year. The music was definitely a hit and I must say, I really like to use literature produced by Lifeway, because the mission studies relate to the work that our church financially supports. The mission videos are excellent, the Bible studies were great! Lifeway, I think this one it a hit!

We had a great crowd today, the result of word of mouth, pre-enrolment, the two week notice on the church sign, and 1,300 post cards mailed out a week ago. Full color post cards, I might add. I don't know how many workers we had, but I did notice that when the Kindergarden/First Grade group was in the craft room, everyone's hands were full. I don't know if we got a final tally, but I think we had 140 kids, including the class for preschool children of workers, for which we had to find a cool spot.

We are looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.

Home Fellowship Groups

Our home groups are doing different stuff this summer. Some are meeting monthly, some here and there, but we are hoping for a good fall. Currently, we have six groups meeting, but we would like to expand that to seven or eight by the fall. On the drawing board is a group for the parents of adopted children, something that several families in the church have in common, maybe you? If you are interested, you can let us know in the church office.

Business Meeting Wednesday, July 22

We need a quorum. Several things are coming up that need attention, including an interim agenda team, which will be led by our interim pastor, Dr. Bob Overton. This team will help address some things around the church, and do some "tidying up" with regard to making preparations for the arrival of a new pastor when that decision is made.

Make plans to be at the business meeting. The dinner menu includes sliced beef brisket or sausage, or a loaded baked potato.
