Greetings parents!
Happy Thursday! Our May birthday is: 24 – Sophia S. Happy Birthday!
Godly Play will NOT meet this Sunday, May 6! There is one service at 10:00 a.m. this week. Next Sunday, May 13, will be our closing for the year. We will have a lite breakfast and will recognize our 5th graders, storytellers, and doorpersons. All parents are invited to attend.
There is only 1 more official WHIRLwind Wednesday before the end of the year! On May 9, we will have hamburgers for dinner. Please bring a side or dessert to share. The children will have their last WHIRL class and choir rehearsal. They will sing on Mother’s Day, May 13, during the 11:00 service. On Wednesday, May 16, we will have an end-of-the-year picnic here at church. Please come prepared with some ideas of things you would like to do on Wednesday evenings next year.
Registration forms for VBS are now available in the Fellowship Hall! VBS 2018, Amped: Live Fully Alive will be July 9-12, 5:30-8:30 p.m.! This year we will learn about the lives of Joseph, Esther, Jesus, and Paul. We want all kids to know that: God is with you; God has a plan for you; Jesus is alive!; You are part of a bigger story. If you would like to help with VBS, please contact Amy Wilson. We are in need of small group helpers, activity station helpers, decorators, and more! Please prayerfully consider this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our children.
Don’t miss the early bird registration deadline for summer camp! If your child is going to camp in July, the early deadline is Friday, June 1. You can still register for camp after June 1, but the cost goes up $75. There are registration forms and scholarship applications available in the Fellowship Hall, and I have attached the schedule for you with the registration dates. Scholarship applications are due to me by Sunday, May 27. All campers are eligible for a scholarship of up to $100 from the Youth Legacy Fund.
