ATTENTION ALL WHO LOVE TO HAVE FUN!!!


    FAMILIES: FAMILY CAMP is the first weekend in August.  Pat Thompson will be making the registration forms available any minute.  You can camp via cabins, tents or campers.  We had a great time last year and anticipate another wonderful weekend this year.  Let Pat or I know if you would like to go.  This is something you may not want to miss!!!!!!
    KIDS: I talked with the children on Sunday about some of the various camps for them during the summer.  There has been some interest expressed by some of the children.  I hope they remembered to talk to you, their parents about it.  There is information here in the office and Pat is ordering some more.  Please, please do not let money or transportation be something that hinders your child from going to camp.  If you would appreciate help in either or both, let me know and we’ll quietly find the solution.  It’s a great experience that they’ll carry far into the future.    Looking for my sleeping bag, Pastor Lynn
