Hard to believe, but today we are celebrating the last week of Sunday School for the 2016/17 year. We couldn t do this week in and week out without the dedication of the teachers who share their time, creativity and love for the young children of AUMC. My heartfelt thanks to Lora Art, Dani Boettcher, Karen Nance, Melissa Nance, Liz Young, and Margaret Zaller. Grace Nance has been an amazing help by pitching in to teach, not only class but also music! And speaking of music, as always we are so very grateful to Debbie Gillette for giving the children the gift of her twin talents of music and teaching. Thanks, too, to Ellen Ruck for her generous help, and to the entire congregation for their support! -Elisa Gueffier VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL JUNE Calling all Super Heroes!
