To the congregation,

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL THE WEEK OF JUNE 27-JULY 2.

We had 50 children registered for the week this year and 27 youth and adult helpers. Each year there is a Mission project and this year the Community Food Pantry was chosen. In the course of the week, the children brought in 33 jars of peanut butter, 38 jars of jelly/jam, 52 boxes of macaroni and cheese, and 44 boxes of cereal.

A special thank you goes to Barb Derby, our Director, who planned each day’s schedule and the final program on Friday.

Dress Our People is a Methodist mission ministry (you don’t have to be Methodist to take part) to sew clothing for families around the world who may not otherwise be able to afford dresses, shirts and pants for their children.

We believe that through this ministry, children will be touched by God’s love for them. The women of our church have already made and sent over 100 garments. The garments are very, very simple.

If you can give an hour or so and would like to help, see me during coffee hours for a bag of already cut out garments to be sewn at your home and returned whenever is convenient. Clara Rose Thomas
