Playground Setup Day Saturday, July 28th Childcare/Nursery Opening In order to provide the best care possible to the smallest members of our church, we need some new volunteers and staff. The early years are the perfect time in a child s spiritual growth to point them to a relationship with Jesus. As nursery caregivers, we are given an awesome privilege to care for, nurture and protect these precious children. If you are interested in sharing a small portion of your time and energy in this way, please contact: Kristal Sparks, Nursery Supervisor oliverandkristal@yahoo.com Cell: (515) 865-6657 Lighthouse has been blessed with free playground equipment from a local Kansas City school. We will erect the equipment on Saturday, July 28th starting at 9am. If you are interested in helping assemble this equipment please contact: Ivy Poetter at ivy@paolalighthouse.com or call or text at 913-731-6110. Many hands make light work, and we would appreciate all the help we can get to improve our playground for the children. A Baby Shower For Eli and Kendra Wedde Sunday, August 5th 2:00-4:00pm at Lighthouse Church There will be a diaper raffle, fun and fellowship time. No RSVP is needed.
