† WATERING AT THE CHURCH  GSLC is looking for youth and adults        who would be willing to help with watering around the church grounds this summer.  If you would be able to help with this, please contact Doug Schnelle, 434-0764.  It would be great to have a lot of people willing to help out so it isn’t so much work for any one person!
