SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN.
Volunteers are invited to come to Cargo Largo on
Saturday, August 7, at noon to help stuff 700 book
bags. Open Arms has been invited to bring a team (at
least 5 persons) to help with this endeavor. The
Independence School District estimates there will be 700
homeless children in their schools this fall. Donations
are coming in for the supplies--we just need "STUFFERS"
with a heart. Food, fun, and a good feeling will be
provided. We will all work under a tent until the 700
are filled. Please don't think someone else will do it--YOU
are needed. Please sign up today. If we get enough
people for 2-3 teams, that will be even better!
Joseph's journey from prison to palace will take us to Egypt for VACATION
BIBLE SCHOOL! We will meet on August 7 and 14 and
September 18 and 25 from 10:00-11:30. Lunch is
planned for the 25th. If you are interested in caravanning
with us through the desert, please contact Mary Rae Bayless.
Sign-up sheets are available in the bulletin and on the
table behind the sanctuary.
We need help building a pyramid for Vacation Bible
School. Stuff one brown grocery bag with crumpled-up
newspaper or other paper. Place a second bag around the
end of the first one and pull to cover the first
bag--that's it! Make a bunch and bring them to Open Arms
before August! Thank you.
CHILDREN'S CHOIRS - A singing choir is led by
Cindy McDonald, assisted by Theresa Franke. A bell choir
is led by Aimee Babcock. If you know a child who wants
to be a part of one or both of these choirs, please
contact Cindy and/or Aimee.
The KIDS LIBRARY will be open between class
and worship time.
Just for kids! For your child's comfort and
for yours, the quiet activities available for using
during worship services are on the north wall next to
the office door. Feel free to assist your child/children
in choosing something of interest to bring to where you
are sitting. Other choices may be made later in the
service as their interest changes. Please see Faith
Bayne if you have suggestions for additions to this
area.
Kids' bulletins...There
are children's bulletins available on a table in the
back for kids ages 3-6 and for kids ages 7-12. They are
different each week. Be sure your child, grandchild, or
friends take advantage of the ministry. Please feel free
to share them with a child that you know.
Sunday School Classes--
- The nursery is downstairs for newborn
through 3 years old.
- The preschool class of 3-5-year-olds

sanctuary. This is for 6th-8th grade youth.
- The senior high school class meets in the
room to the right front of the sanctuary. This is for 9th-12th
grade youth.
Nursery volunteers needed! Please help take
care of our little ones in the nursery so that everyone
(parents included) can have an opportunity to share in
our worship. You do need to have had the Community of
Christ youth training and be certified--Mary Rae Bayless
will be glad to help you obtain that. Please contact
Mary Rae Bayless at 836-1312
or
mbayless100@comcast.net if you can help.
Help needed! We are looking for more persons
who are interested in assisting with the classes from
the nursery through senior high age. On occasion the
regular teachers are not able to come, and we need a
team of people who can step in and assist on those
occasions. Please contact Mary Rae Bayless at 836-1312
or
mbayless100@comcast.net
if you can help.
