Dear Fourth Church,
What a wonderful turn out on Sunday evening for the hymn sing, complete with shaved ice and bubbles afterward (see photo below)! I left with our final hymn, "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand", ringing in my head. The chorus, "I am bound for the promised land", helped us all depart with renewed hope and joy in the future God has prepared for those who trust in him.

Heads up for Sunday, June 26: Enjoy the evening service at 6:00 p.m. followed by summer treats on the back lot and then a presentation by missionaries Craig and Yumiko Chapin and Brent and Bonnie, 7:15-9:00 p.m., in Room 102 (you might call it a triple header!). Learn more about the God-glorifying ministries in Japan and Southeast Asia (Brent and Bonnie's last names withheld for security).

As Todd highlighted on Sunday, there's still a pressing need for volunteers for Vacation Bible School (VBS), July 11–15. Please pray for workers and for many families to sign up their children for this fun, gospel-rich time of ministry. Details below.

Help spread the word about Fourth's one-day music camp Saturday, July 30, 9:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m., for children of all skill levels, grades 2–8. This free camp offers handbell and choral music tracks and includes lunch. Registration below.

It's not too late to join one of the Summer Book Clubs for women coming up the next six Tuesday nights, June 21–July 26. Visit the Women's Ministry webpage for descriptions and to register.
Lastly, the coming week is a great time to pray for our youth ministry as 6th-12th graders head out for SuperCamp this Sunday through June 23.
