It's hard to think about Christmas while the weather is hot, but as you shop for shoes this summer and fall, don't forget that we are collecting shoeboxes for Samaritans' Purse. These boxes are filled with toys, candy, and personal hygiene items for poverty stricken children worldwide. It may be the only gift they receive this Christmas!

The Sunday School is looking for valunteers who can occasionally tteach either Sunday School or Children's Church. Please contact Sharon Spriggs to let her know you are willing to help.

 

Vacation Bible School will be held at the Church from August 17th to the 22nd. If you have children between the ages of 3 and 12 who are interested in attending, please contact Dianna or Jordan Spangler at 884-8359. If YOU are interested in volunteering or in donating items for the children also let Dianna or Jordan know. Donations of snacks or crafts will be gratefully accepted. NO offers of help will be refused. Vacation Bible School is always a fun time for the children and adults who participate. It is an opportunity to guide young lives in a life of Christian direction. Please pray for the program.

It sure was nice to have Bob Jones visit our church in July. Bob and his late wife, Nancy were valued members of our church for several years until moving from the area. Bob now splits his time between Florida and Pennsylvania but can't resist stopping to visit when he is in the area.
