Sunny Days! Sweeping the clouds away!! Come and help out at our Summer Camp! We’ll be laughing and enjoying the summer with a pile of great kids and lots of friends. We are pleased to report that registration is now full, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone in July.
I bet you’re interested in helping in the kitchen preparing and tidying up from our snacks and cooking activities. This job doesn’t include hands-on child care, but your smiles will help make their day.
Or maybe you’re a teenager who loves children, and loves learning about being a leader, running programs, leading games, creating art and drama and more. We will even give you volunteer hours for having tons of fun!
Camp runs Tues-Wed-Thurs for 2 weeks on July 20-21-22 and July 27-28-29 from 9:00 am to 11:30 am. Even if you can only come part of the time, we’d love to hear from you.
Contact Carolyn Smith about volunteering.

Ushers and Layreaders – Our worship time is fuller with participation of many. You are invited to talk to an member of the Worship Committee if interested in ushering or reading on Sunday morning.
