Fundraiser Thank-you
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Foreign Currency Fund-raiser for the Youth Mission trip to New Orleans!!! We were able to make $715. This was nearly enough to provide three half scholarships for our trip.

We need youth who are presently finishing 6th grade and older to help with Vacation Church School the week of July 23-27 from 9 am to 12 pm! If you or one of your children falls into this category and you are available, please contact Gretchen Jordan at 929-2193 as soon as possible.
Vacation Church School
Capacity for our July 23-27 morning program has almost been reached. We still can accept a few for the 4th-5th grade combination class, but all other classes are filled. We are happy to add names to the wait list for the other classes. If you plan to attend, please register now. Forms are available outside the Educators' office and in the dining room. We have changed the week and the ages of participation. Children must be entering kindergarten in the fall to register for this summer.
