• Summer Reading Program- we want to encourage the kids to be reading over the summer, but not just anything- THEIR BIBLES TOO!  We'll be sending home information about our summer reading program next week.  Kids will have the chance to keep track of family  and personal devotional times, Christian books read, and scripture verses remembered.  This is not a reward-based  program, but we will celebrate the journey with milestone momentos for everyone who participates!
• Summer Sundays are here!  Preschool through Kindergartners will have classes together beginning June 27 at both services.  Check out the summer series for everyone- KIDMO!  Kids will be bringing home M.A.P. Books  to engage the lessons throughout the week. Take some time to talk to kids about what they are learning. 
  
• No more snack food during fellowship.  Fellowship time will continue after the 9:15 & 11am service, but there will be no snacks provided after the 11.  As a reminder to parents, all kids through Kindergarten receive a snack during Sunday School.  Since service goes into the lunch hour, we will have an optional snack for 1st-5th grade during service as well.  This is a great time to update your child's teacher about any known food allergies (lists are posted in all classrooms).
• Volunteer Leader positions available: 9:15/11am Nursery Leads (2x a month), 2- 1st-5th Large Group Teacher (2x month), 3- 1st-5th Small group leaders (every week), Substitute teachers (any age group, 1x month)
• Fall Grade Changes- Kindergarten & 5th Grade kids will move up the first week of September- we can't wait to celebrate these milestones with kids! 
• Moms Group- is still meeting through the summer.  Kids are watched by qualified childcare providers in Toddler classroom.  Moms meet for coffee and fellowship at Q Cafe- Thursdays from 10am-12.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. ~Colossians 3:15-17

Be blessed.
