Vacation Bible School!


Hi playgroup friends!

Wednesday is the deadline to register for Vacation Bible School ....so don't miss it!

Register online by clicking here! Forward this message to your friends who may have forgotten to sign-up :)

And after you register, mark your calendar for the VBS Kick-off - JUNE 5th!

This will be a special time of family worship and a fun fellowship meal on Sunday June 5 beginning at the 5 o'clock service!

Would you help us spread the word?


Our hope is to bring whole families together for fellowship (I know some dads who are excited about experiencing a little VBS fun!), help new families meet more Adventers, and get to know guests who may be joining us for our VBS week. We'll even start learning those VBS songs you love to hear all summer :)

But we need you there...so don't miss it!


I'm passionate about VBS because it not only reaches children, but it is a way to reach whole families, and all for God's Glory! The VBS team would appreciate your prayers, too!

If you have any questions, feel free to call me or Tricia!
Blessings,
Melissa

Backpacks for Children

Playgroup friends,

We received the following email from Anna Colvin and wanted to be sure you knew about this opportunity to serve along side your children....

May 2, 2011

Hi everyone,

We know so many of us are looking for ways to help the children affected by the storms that devastated our state this past week. We have been trying to think of a way for our children to understand the enormity of what happened and involve them in helping those children that have lost so much. The need is so great and it is basic necessities that these children need. I wanted to let everyone know about an opportunity to help these children. We are going to be stuffing backpacks on Thursday at Anna Colvin’s house. We will stuff each backpack with a pair of new pajamas, pack of new underwear, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, drink, and fun activity. We would love for you to bring your children and have them help us and also play in the yard. If you can join us, please bring a lunch and we will provide drinks. Come as long or as short as you would like. We will be there from Noon until we are done and would love any and all help. If you would like to donate any of these items, please let me know. If you would like to contribute but cannot join us on Thursday, items can be dropped off in Anna’s carport at any time. Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated. Anna’s address: 1932 Southwood Road

Thanks in advance for your contribution.
