Worship on Sunday, July 5

Announcement Highlights:​​​​

• Vacation Bible School   Visit our VBS page for information about our Vacation Bible School coming up. Click here to see how you can help. 

• Vacation Bible School... For Adults!  Adults are invited to supper each evening July 8-10 at 6:00, then conversation with John Kreidler about “Travelling with God:  Being a Serendipitous Christian.” 
  Each evening will include:

  • Bible Study - Unexpected good fortune through old stories

  • Understanding Worship - Unexpected good fortune through old habits

  • Reflecting on Everyday Life - Unexpected good fortune within the same old same old

The topics will match the stories the kids are simultaneously learning:

• July 8:  Abraham and Sarah—planning is nice, but flexibility and a sense of humor are essential.

• July 9: Zacchaeus—staycations are good but best with a party.

• July 10:  Paul—the direct route is not always the best route.

Although connected, each conversation topic is complete on its own, so participants are welcome any evening, even if they can’t attend all three or they are volunteering to help the young people some evenings. ​
See the sign-ups in the Fellowship Hall to help with food donations. Contact Pam Schmidt or Janeen Bollhoefer for more information. ​
