Spruce Up the Grounds
The Building has a fresh coat of paint! We have a flashing new LED sign! The grass looks great with repaired sprinkler system! The Labyrinth looks the best it has in years! Now we need some fine tuning of the grounds! Please help out on Saturday morning June 8th starting at 8:30-9:00am.
The bushes in front of the church only need trimming. (Not a major reduction in size.) The playground needs to spruced up and leaves raked up and carried away. General grounds cleaned up before the heat of the summer.
Tools and Supplies needed: Hedge trimmers, rakes, and certainly hats, gloves, and sun screen. The prediction is for temperatures in the 80s with a partly cloudy sky. Just think of all we could get done on Saturday morning! Please show up and help out. Thanks, Tim Buckley

Leadership Development
The Policy Committee committed to a 2019 Vision Action Plan which includes "Create and implement a leadership structure which ensures leaders have necessary skills, identifies future leaders, matches people with passions, and creates and uses succession plans."
A task group to address this plan was formed. If you are interested in being involved in developing a system for assuring future leadership at Live Oak please speak to members of the task group: Rachel Sartin, Rev. Joanna, Julia Mitschke, Lee Collins, and Tim Buckley. Or better yet, attend the next meeting: Wednesday, June 12th at 3pm at the Cedar Park Library. Review Previous Meeting Notes

Faith Development
Here's what you need
to know this week!
Our summer programming begins this Sunday at 11 AM. Adults are invited to attend weekly discussions on the worship topic called 'Musings on the Message.' Attendees will meet in Room 109 beginning at 11:10 and ending at noon. These groups will mostly be self-facilitated, but you will find all the materials there ready for you to begin each Sunday.
Children and youth are exploring cultural cuisine throughout the summer using the curriculum
Books and Cooks. Each week they will engage with food from another culture through a story and cooking a dish together. There will be optional games and art activities to fill time as needed. The class will meet in Room 205 for the summer, and children 5th grade and under should be signed out by a family member by noon. Older youth (middle school and up) are encouraged to sign up to help lead a session, or just come and help with the cooking and storytime.
Since it is a food-based curriculum, each week when you sign your child in at the table in the Fellowship Hall you will find a list of the ingredients for the day so that you can let the teachers know if there is something your child should not have. We will make sure that our dishes are gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free as much as possible to avoid common allergens.
Please check each week!
If you are interested in helping over the summer, there are still slots available for teachers. Please see the sign-up in the Narthex or here.
