Summer Sunday School: June 4!
Sundays, June 4 to July 30
9:30-10:30 a.m. only
Gratz Center, Fourth Floor
This Sunday we kick off our Summer Sunday School schedule!
Our schedule through July 30 will be to have
classes only during the 9:30 a.m. worship service hour. Ages and grades will also be grouped together differently than they are during the regular school year.
Please note that the grades listed below refer to the grade/class that your child just completed: we don't "graduate" until the start of our regular Sunday School year!
Preschool: Room 4D
Kindergarten and First Grade: Room 4E
Second through Fifth Grade: Room 4F
Additionally, we are in need of Sunday School teachers over the summer!
Even if you are only able to help out for one Sunday, we'd be very grateful for your assistance. Our curriculum is easy to pick up and teach, and the classes are a lot of fun.
If you're interested in helping out, please contact Matt

Family Outdoor Movie Nights
Thursdays, July 6, 13, 20, and 27
6:30-8:00 p.m.
Day School Playground
Join us this summer for some fun and fellowship out on the Day School Playground with our Thursday Summer Movie Nights!
Every Thursday in July we'll be projecting a different G- or PG-rated movie onto a screen near the Ditka's wall. Come watch some awesome movies, play on the playground, and catch up with one another over the summer. The best part? It's absolutely free (other than parking, of course)!
Our movie schedule will be
Thursday, July 13
: Zootopia
Thursday, July 20:
Finding Dory
Thursday, July 27:
Kubo and the Two Strings
Movies will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will end around 8:00 p.m. (the actual end depends on the run-time of the particular movie). You are welcome and encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets, and you can also bring snacks as well (as long as you make sure to pick up any trash afterwards). Parking at the 900 North Michigan building will be $8 with a validation ticket (as long as you don't enter the garage before 5:00 p.m.).
If it is raining on a particular Thursday, we will just shift to watching our movie inside in the Bumpus Room. It wouldn't be quite as fun as watching outdoors, but the picture and sound quality would be just as good (perhaps even better)!

Register for Vacation Bible School
August 7-11
9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Vacation Bible School is an action-packed week of learning, singing, and fun here at the church, all centered on a particular biblical theme. This year we'll be journeying back to ancient Rome--learning about Paul and the growth of the early church while also making crafts, playing games in the courtyard, and taking part in all the other excitement that VBS always brings.
We have two different registration deadlines for VBS this year: an early-bird registration period that will save you a bit of money, and our final registration deadline on the last day of July.
Friday, June 30 | Early-bird Registration Deadline
$25 per child
Monday, July 31 | Final Registration Deadline
$40 per child
Finally, we are always in need of volunteers, so we'd love it if you, your middle schooler, or high schooler could help with VBS! As an extra incentive, any adult who volunteers for the whole week of VBS can waive their children's registration fee and will receive parking validation tickets for parking each day. If you (or your youth) are interested, please contact
Matt Helms
