This summer we
will be looking at the parables of Jesus as our theme. The children will be talking about the same
parable in their Sunday school class.
Parables were used by Jesus to invite his listeners to think more deeply
about living God’s ways for all ages.
This year’s Vacation
Bible School will be held July 25 – 28 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at Crooked
Creek Christian Camp. The theme is Taste
and See: God is Good! Each evening
children will hear stories from the Bible that connect food and faith, watch a
drama and do activities and games that relate to our theme. Christian Nurture is asking for volunteers to
help make it a success. Please see the sign-up sheet in the foyer. Invitation letters are also available to send
to children you know that may wish to attend.
The Outreach and
Service Ministry provided an air conditioner to Kim Boileau, who has
suffered medical problems, lost her house, and moved into an apartment. Kim sent the church a thank you note, which
is posted on the bulletin board.
The amount of Penny
Power for the 2011 MCC Sale was $285.96 from Washington Mennonite
Church.
