6 News from... CHILDREN S MINISTRY Thank you to Betty Simpson, Bonita Jones and Catherine Tullos! These ladies are our faithful substitutes who readily fill in so many Sundays when the permanent teachers and assistants are sick or out of town.

Sunday School Volunteers Needed We have opportunities for our church family to serve in the Children's Ministry during the Sunday School hour (9:15am) in the following places Older Preschool Class: Assistant on Odd Months (Jan., March, May, July, Sept., Nov.) K/1st Grade Class: Assistant on Even Months (Feb., April, June, Aug., Oct., Dec.) 4th/5th Grade Class: Assistant on Even Months Substitutes for all ages/grades Sunday Night Live (SNL) Even though SNL is not meeting this summer, it is still on our minds...we have been busy making plans for the fall! We are really excited about our topic of study when SNL starts back up, "The Daniel Dare". We will be going through the entire book of Daniel and we encourage you and your children to go ahead and read through this book over the summer and get familiar with it; we will dig deeper into Daniel starting in September. Speaking of "digging", we are planning to kick off SNL on Sunday, September 11 with a family event called "The Big Dig"...more details to come on that later this summer. Vacation Bible School Wrap-up: What an amazing week we just finished up at Cave Quest VBS! We had an amazing turn out of children and volunteers each evening. The word of God was taught and fun was had by all each night. Thank you so much to Cynthia Keen for directing another awesome VBS this summer! Special thanks goes to each and every person who helped before, during and after VBS with decorations, set-up, clean up, organizing, stuffing, etc. and thank you to those who volunteered each night on stage at the opening and closing, as crew leaders, stations leaders, nurses, substitutes, helpers, bus drivers and the list goes on. We appreciate you allowing God to use your talents and gifts to share His message...that He is the Light of the World! Parents' Night Out/Service Project for Children Thank you to Andy Hanschu, Bonita Jones, John Jones, Matt Williams and Melissa Burgess for serving at this event in June.
