† VBS REGISTRATION  If you haven’t already registered for VBS please   take the time to do so.  There is a table set up in the narthex under the  education bulletin board with registration forms.  Or, you can also register for Vacation Bible School online, you can do that at: http//vbsmate.com/events/gslccarthage/16342.

† NEW THIS YEAR  The VBS Kick-off party will be a little different this year.  We want everyone to come and join us for a potluck water fun party here at Good Shepherd on Saturday, July 21, at 4:00 pm!  The meat will be provided and everyone is asked to bring a dish to share.  There will be   several fun/wet water activities for the kids and the young at heart to participate in, so come prepared to get wet if you want or just enjoy watching the kids have fun!  We hope to have everyone come out to enjoy this fun fellowship event to start out a great week of learning and activities for our children!

† 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 S.  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!

† SUMMER QUARTER OFFERINGS  The offerings from Adult Bible class/Sunday School and VBS for the summer quarter will be going to Watered Gardens Gospel Rescue Missions in Joplin.  A donation of $15.00 provides one bed for one night.  For that amount, a shower, hygiene items, a set of clothing/shoes, a bed and laundry facilities are provided.  Let’s see how many nights GSLC can provide with our summer offerings.

† 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.
