The rains have gone....  

Just wanted to remind you that our lesson tomorrow is WATER FUN DAY on the playground.  Please wear or bring your bathing suit or clothes to get wet in and also bring a towel.   We'll start out in the service for the Time For All Ages before going outside for fun.  

Our last day of religious education lessons is on June 19th which is also the last day that Rev. Doug Wadkins is in our pulpit.   I hope you'll come say good-bye to Doug and wish him well in his new assignment in St. Louis, MO.   Our new settled minister, Rev. Jay Wolin will start his journey with us starting August 1st.  

From June 26th to August 7th, we will provide childcare each Sunday and have an art, craft or game activity for the children.  Teens are welcome to join in or stay with their parents in the service.  We have some interesting speakers lined up for the summer including myself on Sunday, July 3rd.  

​Come join in as your summer plans permit.  

Peace,
Catherine Bonner
