Calendar Change
Hope you celebrated the great freedoms we have in America and in Christ over the 4th of July. Thanks to all of you who served and who helped secure these freedoms.
Our next event is a trip to the Churchill Museum. As I was checking their website for costs, I discovered that it was not open yet. When the pandemic shut them down, they took the opportunity to remodel and do some updates. The grand reopening is the weekend of July 31.
Consequently, we will switch our trip to the St. Louis Science Center to July 26 and go to the Churchill Museum on August 9. Hopefully this doesn’t mess your schedule up too much. Thank you so much for your flexibility as we get back out and enjoy fellowship together.
Science Center Details
On Monday, July 26 we will leave the church at 10:00 a.m. Tickets for the Mummies of the World exhibit are $16.95. The OmniMax theater price is $8.95 to see Into America’s Wild. We will go to Pappy’s for lunch – yum!
My apologies to those of you who will be serving in Vacation Bible School and will not be able to attend. Thanks for serving our kids! Don’t worry – there will be more Prime Time activities to come!
Free Market & Backpack Giveaway
I would encourage you to support our annual Free Market on Saturday, August 7. Bring new or gently used clothes, furniture, appliances, or anything else to be given away to our community from in our parking lot on this Saturday morning.
We are also collecting backpacks and school supplies to be given out that day to kids in our community. You can drop off your donations at church in the Donation Center, catty-corner from the Connection Center. You can also just donate money for this cause to Kim in our financial office.
This effort is a great way to “pursue the good of our community.” I hope many of you will sign up to be a part of the Free Market and be a blessing to our neighbors!
