Here comes summer...

Today, the weather was summer-like, but that will change. However, just wanted to share that our VBS (vacation bible school) is in full registration mode. Forms will be available at a special table this Sunday and henceforth in the Church Office. Also we are hoping to recruit volunteer helpers. There's lots of variety in this year's program...so think about it.

Our play is in place for the Sunday School Picnic on June 14th too. Wayne Bryant will soon be auditioning and rehearsing the children to perform a little play he wrote on the "Boy with the Fishes".

So be prepared to enjoy lots of intergenerational fun from June through August! Whoo hoo summer bring 'er on!

Rollin' up the sleeves!

Well hello all.

Yesterday went very well, pretty much a blur of activity, but wonderful just the same.

I had a short meeting with Rev. Judith...we're gonna get along just great!

Jim Oliver brought in a new carpet for my office which is really attractive. A kind of Southwestern design.

Diane -- the office manager -- got me set up with instructions, keys, etc. She is an invaluable asset that I mean to cherish.

Margaret, the Sunday School teachers, Rev. Judith and I shared soup and bread for lunch...which was yummy and a perfect way to get off on the right foot.

Margaret lead the meeting with the Sunday School teachers for this session. We are using the Rainbow Forest VBS curriculum and extending each day for five weeks. It is a great curriculum with so many ideas that you couldn't possibly get through them in a day.

Then we got down to nitty gritty planning and that's when I had to get involved. Great fun!

After the meeting Margaret and I set about to cleaning and organizing. We sure put in a full day. 6 and a half hours!

Then I got to drive Margaret home and see where she lives. Easy peasy to get back onto Hwy 26 and home in good time.

It was worth it. We did accomplish enough to make a difference and it's starting to feel like home already.
