SPRING SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR!
           
     The book fair is open now through next Sunday, May 12.  The fair is set up at the end of the green ramp, outside the COM offices. There are envelopes for your payment and a box to put the envelopes in. Please round up the price (i.e., $4.99 price, pay $5.00). Make checks payable to COM, and write "Book Fair" in your memo.
     Would you like to shop a larger assortment of books, covering a wider age-range of children? Then shop our Online Fair! Free shipping to our school on all orders. Also, check out the "School Wish Lists" tab to refresh our classroom libraries. Here's the online link:

VBS: To Mars & Beyond!
Vacation Bible School is coming sooner than you think. From June 23-28, we will blast off "To Mars and Beyond!" as VBS takes us into outer space. Every year we have an evening session (23-27) for the church and community and a morning session (24-28) for our COM Summer Safari. We need lots of helping hands for both sessions, so please click here for the volunteer form or talk to Jayné Kirk! There are jobs for everyone, but the best part of VBS is being blessed to be a blessing to all the children who attend. I hope you join us!
