We are having a great week at VBS and it's been made awesome by 35+ youth volunteers! We just wrapped up day 3 and will be winding everything down tomorrow. If possible, youth volunteers should bring lunch and help us tear everything down after all the kids head home. Immediately after that we will walk down to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream (on Matt) as a thank you for 4 days of hard work! We should be done with ice cream by 1:30-2 pm.

For the sixth summer, our church will be providing bags of groceries to children who attend Blythe Elementary School and miss out on free school breakfast and lunch over summer break. Your family can partner with this project by loading and delivering 10 grocery bags on Thursdays this summer! The time commitment is from 10:30-12:00 and requires a parent with a car that will hold 10 grocery bags. Volunteers are needed on June 20th, June 27th, July 3rd, July 11th, July 18th, July 25th, July 31st, August 8th, and August 15th. If you are able to help on one of these dates, please email Catherine Bragg with the date of your choice and Catherine will provide detailed directions. THANK YOU for helping us meet this need with our partner school!

We're headed to Massanetta Springs Middle School Conference on Thursday the 20th! Would you please keep us (Alex, Alex, Anne, Catherine, Claire, Cooper, Eric, Jack, Julia, Mary, Matt, & Sam) in prayer as we travel and participate in the conference? We'll be returning on Sunday the 23rd.
