Worship on the Beach.   We will celebrate 4 times this summer at our beach property.   The final Saturday of each month (June 29, July 27, August 31 and September 28) at 7:00 p.m.  You are invited to bring a friend, a beverage of choice, a lawn chair, snacks and a joyful spirit.  Saturday night services will continue at 5:30.  We will carpool from the church and travel to the beach property at 6:30.   The service and time of fellowship will last from 7:00-9:00.  If there is rain, we will reschedule.

Pastor John and Nena are inviting you to come to their house for a fireside chat on June 30th from 5:00-7:00.  We will sit by the firepit by the river (or in the house or gazebo) and talk about life, hope, grace and the love of God (no agenda).   This is a gift from Nena and me, so nothing is required to be part of this experience.  Come for 15 minutes or for 2 hours.

The Forget-Me-Nots will gather at the church picnic grounds at noon on Tuesday, July 9th.  Please bring your lunch and a beverage.  We hope to see you there!

The Scholarship Committee is grateful to those that have brought in their bottle returns, we ask that you keep them coming! The bottle returns can be placed in the janitorial closet next to the elevator on the Mirre Street side, there is a sign on the door to prevent confusion.

Reminder:  Next Sunday is Popcorn/Movie Day for Children’s Church! Adults can sneak some too.

If you would like to make further donations to the Cancer Center, for patients undergoing treatment we are needing packaged nuts, crackers with peanut butter or cheese, rice crispy treats, candy bars, Jolly Rancher hard candies, oatmeal packets, pudding snacks. Please drop them off at Miss Nena’s office.
