Becky Willhoite, Chairperson
Summer Sunday School

Our Sunday school students and friends through grade 4 (2007-08 year) are invited to join us this summer on Sunday mornings on a "Journey with Jesus". Class meets in Room 4 from 9:45-10:45 am.

Each Sunday is a different Bible study tour as God leads us on journeys toward our heavenly home. There are Bible people to meet, devotions, activities, new friends to know, exercise~, crafts and tasty snacks too. Come fill in your own passport, as together we record our progress on a wall memory album of our summer trip journal.

Coming in July, we travel with the persistent Wisemen of the East on their mission; a Royal Officer goes back home; we'll visit family friends in Bethany; and be there for Jesus' welcome in Jerusalem.

Our children need volunteers to be teachers/tour guides. Teacher packets filled with lessons, resources and materials have been assembled for each Sunday's journey. Please contact Rebecca Willhoite to volunteer in July or August.
Sunday Morning Bible Study

Join us for Adult Bible Study at 9:45 am on Sundays in the Parish Hall. Rich Vance continues to present a video series entitled "That the World May Know" by historian Ray Vander Laan.
Sunday Morning Topical Bible Study

Jeff Mauth and Roy Wolfe lead a second Adult Bible Study Sundays in the music room at 9:45 am. This study focuses on events happening in the world around us and how we as Christians should respond.
Small Group Ministry

Our summer Small Group ministry includes five couples meeting Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm and studying the "Fruits of the Spirit". We meet at our homes and would welcome any and all visitors. Please contact Mark Shaver to become a part of this new and exciting ministry opportunity.
Library Glimpses

Happy Fourth of July! This is the time of year when we seem to take time to be with ourselves and spend some quiet time relaxing.

Remember that there are many types of topics in the books at our library. Lookthrough them. I bet you will find one that you would like to read.

Have a great summer.
