When: June 27, 2011 – July1, 2011

The Children’s Coordinators (Martha Ingliss and Lyda Kiser) have selected a beach theme for this year’s VBS. Members of the church, Discovery preschoolers, and any friends you wish to invite are welcome. In order to reach more children, it is the dream of the  Children’s Coordinators to offer VBS during the day this year. To make this dream a reality, we will need adults and youth to volunteer. Speak to Martha, Lyda, or call the church office if you can help. Come “hang ten” in the fellowship hall June 27th-July 1st. Ages 3 through 12 are invited to participate!

Registration forms are available in the back of the sanctuary and at the VBS display located in the church narthex.

Discovery Preschool at First United Methodist Church will provide camps for children ages 4-9. This is an opportunity for your children to enjoy their summer and learn at the same time. Each week is structured with an interactive theme. Discovery Preschool Camps are directed by Discovery Preschool faculty and the staff hold CPR and first aid certification.

Camp Hours and Fees

Each camp will be held Monday thru Friday from 9am-12pm each day. Fee is $60.00 per child per week.

For more information, see the Summer Adventures brochure.

What: Women’s Rally! “Steppin’ Out in your Gospel Shoes!”
Where: Here at First UM church!
When: Saturday, June 18th 9am to 3:30pm

Please join us for a day of heartwarming stories of grace and redemption. Our guest speaker, Robin Harnist, has an evangelist’s heart and a passion to see people grow in their faith in Jesus!

The day will include special music from Joanne Lovick, dynamic testimony from our speaker Robin Harnist, crafts with Kathleen Bouw, and a workshop with Robin to help you grow in your faith. Lunch can be ordered from Panera Bread (for $9.45) with your registration or feel free to prepare your own lunch to bring. Drinks will be provided. You may decide to prepare a picnic basket with friends that are also coming!

The cost for the day is $10. Checks can be made to First United Methodist Church with “Women’s Rally” written on the memo line. Some may consider buying a gift certificate for someone else who would like to attend. It’s sure to be a day you won’t want to miss! We also are “steppin’ out” to give to others. If you have any pairs of old shoes, please bring them for a donation to “Save–a-Sole”. The only requirement is that the shoes be dry and banded, bagged or tied together as a pair. They will be shipped to West Africa where they will be cleaned and repaired, providing much-needed jobs. Once refurbished, they will be taken to the impoverished region’s charitable network.

Please complete the registration form below and mail it to the church or drop it off at the church during one of our services before May 31st so will we have a count to help us have enough supplies for everyone. If you have any questions, please call 662-2348 or speak to Martha Inglis or Robbin Wilfong.
