Starting this Sunday we will have a ‘Children’s Giving’ at the beginning of our worship service.  Each Sunday this summer before announcements our children, elementary age and below, will be called to come bring their donation to the front.  We will have two men at the front with baskets and the children will walk to the front and put their money in the basket.  If some of our older children will help the young ones that would be great.  In class Sunday morning the teacher will explain why we give and what the Bible says about giving.  They will learn that their money will help children who are in need.  The ‘Children’s Giving’ money will be giving to the Foster Children’s Home.

We will be combining classes (ages 4-14) this summer to be more like a Bible hour or vacation Bible school set up.  We are asking for a teacher to teach for 1 week (you are more than welcome to teach more often), Sunday and Wednesday.  Sunday will be story & handwork, Wednesday will be review/games/crafts/snacks.  All lessons will be prepared with story, handouts, puppets/drama scripts, crafts, games & snack ideas. Come enjoy being with & teaching our next generation of Christians.  Middle school students will help the younger ones do crafts & games and they also can do puppets/drama….If they do a good job, we can count teaching time towards a LTC medal.  Check the foyer for the sign-up sheet.  There are definite dates that need to be covered when Dee will not be available to teach.
