Tickets, which are $15.00, will include a Springfield Cardinals cap and a t-shirt. There will also be post-game fireworks that night. If you have questions, please contact Jim G. There is a sign-up sheet on the round table in the narthex, remember to include your shirt sizes (Youth Sm – Adult 3XL). The deadline for payment is today.
† VBS HELPERS Are you interested in helping with this year’s vacation bible school? The theme this year is “Splash Canyon – God’s Promise on Life’s Wild Ride.” The dates will be July 22 – July 26. We are in need of group leaders, group helpers, station assistants, etc. In addition we will be needing some help with our kick-off potluck and water games day which will be held at the church on Saturday, July 21. If you would like to help out with either of these or both, please let Nicole Backerman or Cindy Eaton know or you can contact the church office, 358-1325. Please consider helping out with this worthwhile event that helps our children learn about Jesus’ love for us.
† FOOD DRIVE The Christian Education Committee would like for GSLC to help with the spring food drive at Bright Futures. We have chosen the month of May. If you would like to participate, please bring items that are pictured on the collection container provided in the narthex. Thanks for your help with this project.
† SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERING The offering from both Adult Bible Class and Sunday School for the spring quarter will be going to Ronald McDonald House. We are hoping to get enough money to purchase a couple of their “Dream BIG items”. This could include two high chairs and a hedge trimmer. It would take around $300 to purchase these items. That seems like a reasonable goal for the quarter and what a great way to help out this great organization.
† PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex by nursery) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.
† ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
