Grace’s Last Sunday with Us
This Sunday will be Grace’s last Sunday on the staff at Vineville. She and her fiancé, Ryan, will marry on June 24th. When they return from their honeymoon, they will live in Sandy Springs, where Grace will join the staff of a counseling center. Her ministry will change but will continue.
Grace will be preaching in both the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services this Sunday. I know you will want to be in your place as a sign of gratitude for her ministry among us. In August it will be 8 years ago that she moved to Macon and joined the staff at Vineville. We give thanks for our sojourn together. While we hate to see her go, we are so happy for her and Ryan. Be in your place on Sunday to hear her sermon, express your thanks for her ministry, and bless her as she heads off on a new adventure.

Can You Help?
We have two easy opportunities to serve. Take either or both of your hands and wiggle your index finger. If you just did that, you are qualified and have completed the first step in training.
We need several people who would be willing to sit in the sound booth and advance the slides for the service at 9:00 a.m. or for the live stream at 11:00 a.m. This ministry opportunity involves clicking a mouse to advance to the next slide. Without the words, the folks at 9:00 a.m. don’t know what to sing. Since our at-home worshippers don’t have hymnals, the words on the live stream allow them to sing along wherever they are. Since we have a need at both services, you can volunteer to help out at the service you usually attend. It is our hope to have a team of volunteers so that you would only be scheduled once every 4 to 6 weeks. We have volunteer greeters, volunteer coffee makers, and volunteer ushers, and now we need a team of clickers. If you are willing to help, please email me. (jasbell@vinevillemethodist.org.)

Another team of volunteers that have been serving for some time is our sound board operators. We have had a dedicated team that has covered Sunday worship as well as special services like Christmas Eve and even some funerals. We are hoping to recruit a couple of additional folks to join this important team.
It doesn’t matter how pitch-perfect the musicians are or how profound the sermon is if you can’t hear it. When we move back into the sanctuary, the soundboard there will match the board in the CLC and the youth room. At least one of our current volunteers is going to have to give up his spot in August. This is the perfect time for new folks to take their place in the ministry. Don’t worry; training will be provided. Somebody will sit with you to make sure you feel comfortable and confident. If you are willing to help with sound, please email me. (jasbell@vinevillemethodist.org.)

Our Fun on the Farm Preschool Camp will take place June 27-30. Come down to the farm where we will be growin' in our friendship with Jesus! Then, at our elementary Summer Theatre Camp from July 18-22, our campers will learn songs and dialogue, build props and sets and perform the funny musical O Chicken of Little Faith. Great songs, fun dialogue, easy to learn, and impossible to forget! The cost for both of these camps is $75 each and you can sign up for them in Realm.
