Dear Fourth Church,


With the school year ending soon, a number of shifts in program and schedule are upon us. New Sunday School classes for adults began this past Sunday, and our 5th–11th graders will "move up" a grade in Sunday School this Sunday.


Registration is open for summer events such as Vacation Bible School and Music Summer Camp; see below for information on those, along with this Friday's online Missions prayer meeting.


NOTES

Join women from Fourth and enjoy the outdoors during this easy hike at Riley's Lock in Poolesville, MD, followed by lunch from the food vendors at Rocklands Farm. Meet at 9:00 a.m. at Fourth or 9:45 a.m. at Riley's Lock. Please email womenshike@4thpres.org with your preferred starting point.
