After Pastor’s last official service on July 12, our congregation will celebrate his many years serving our congregation with a retirement lunch.  The lunch will be an “Old Fashioned Potluck”, so bring your favorite dish to share.  Watch for a sign up sheet in the narthex!  There won’t be Sunday School or Adult Class that morning.

The committee also asked that folks kindly wait until an announcement is made that lunch is ready  before heading downstairs to eat.

The equipment for the new playground has arrived!

Two work days have been scheduled for prepping the site and for installing the equipment.  The crew could use as much help as possible so the task can be completed in a timely manner (hopefully ready to go by VBS).

Saturday, July 11, starting at 8:00 am, will be the day for prepping the site and digging some holes.  Saturday, July 18, at 8:00 am, is the day planned for the actual    installation of the equipment.  This will take all day, so even if you can’t make it by 8:00 am, please come out and help later in the day.  This is an extensive project which will take many hands!
