Our annual Vacation Bible School is around the corner -- June 5-9! We could use some help on a few items.
First, we are looking for a few ladies to help Tina Rudman with lunch prep and cleanup for our volunteers on Sunday, June 4. If you would be interested, contact Lindsay Clements at vbs@gepc.org.
Second, we like to provide a snack-filled break room for our volunteers that week. Could you help by providing
some tasty morsels for our volunteers? We need everything from breakfast casseroles to bottled water and all things in between. For more information or to sign up, visit our signupgenius.com page by clicking

Pregnancy Care Center Baby Bottle Campaign Underway
The local Pregnancy Care Cent
er is funded through donations. Each year, there is a "Baby Bottle" funds drive that happens between Mother's Day and Father's Day. At church, you'll find baby bottles ready for you to take home and start filling with change (or cash or checks) for return to church on Father's Day.

Women of Grace Summer Programs
Tuesday Night Video Discussion Series: "Gospel in Life - Grace Changes Everything"
Fees: $2 for video; optional study guide available online
Join author and pastor Timothy Keller in an eight-week video-based study of the gospel and how to liv
e it out in everyday life. Topics range from the city, your home now, and "the world that is" in week one, to themes of the eternal city, your heavenly home, and "the world that is to come" in week eight. In between you'll learn how the gospel can change your heart, your community, and how you live in this world.
Plan to watch a short video clip together in class (20 minutes) and then discuss the week's topic. Participants may also purchase an additional study guide to augment their learning.
Wednesday Night Book Club: "Adorned: "Living Out the Beauty of the Gospel Together"
Fees: Participants are responsible for securing their own book. (Purchase in hard back or audio book, or listen free of charge on hoopla.com using your Lawrence Public Library membership)
This book explores the life-to-life model from Titus 2, the sharing of life between older and younger women. Author Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth reminds us that every woman --- teaching out of her strengths and her failures --- can point others to the amazing grace of God.
Plan on reading two chapters per week and then discussing the content in small groups (6 to 8 women of varied ages).
FAQs about summer gatherings...
What about childcare during the evening meetings? Sorry, but childcare is not provided on site during summer gatherings. If you need a list of screened baby sitters, contact our Paid Caregiver Supervisor Kristin Huerter at janesangle@gmail.com.
What about schedule conflicts? Our books and formats are selected in part so that women can "come and go" during the summer months. Attend when you're able to do so, and don't drop out because you're out of town or you go to your child's sports event.
What if I need some more information? Contact the leaders listed above or Katharine Ritter (wogdirector@gepc.org) with further questions.
