VBS, JULY 29-AUG. 2 It’s time once again to start thinking about VBS! We have a website where you can register your child or yourself (if you want to volunteer). Please check it out and get registered early. We always need volunteers for VBS. If you have never volunteered before, I know you will enjoy it! We will be doing a kickoff party for VBS on July 22 at the Municipal Park with a pool party and kiddieland. You can also check out the volunteer opportunities at the Education Station in the narthex. This is the link to get registered online for VBS: https://www.groupvbspro.com/vbs/ez/goodshepherdcarthage
BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after each service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace. We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.
CD’S AND TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes and CD’s of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.
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.
