THANK YOU
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for the outpouring of love and encouragement that you all gave to us last Sunday. We are overwhelmed with your kind words and generosity. We are speechless and grateful for the gifts and cards that were given to us.  We were filled with a luscious bounty of tasty food that you all brought and we are warmed by the love that was lavished on us.  
Thank you, so much, for such a tender and loving “send-off.” 
In Christ, The Sullivan Family

Items Needed For VBS
We are gathering gear for VBS, and there are many ways you can help. In the foyer is a bulletin board filled with items needed to make this VBS successful. Each tag on the board is for a specific item and is labeled with Emily Holloway’s contact info, along with where and when to deliver the item. Do not toss this tag in the trash! Please – when you do deliver your donation, tape the tag to the item . They are color coded to help the VBS leadership team know exactly where each item will be used . This will greatly help VBS leaders’ preparations!
