I can’t believe I’m already writing my August Forerunner.  Time flies when you’re having fun.  I’ve got a couple of things to add to your summer fun so here goes.

We have had to make a change of plans for our Monday, August 7 trip.  During the flooding last July, Old St. Ferdinand had a lot of water damage and it has not yet opened back up.  So instead we are going to the Omnimax to see Ocean Odyssey.  The cost for a senior is $8.95.  This is the story of one of the flows within the ocean called the East Australian current.  This is a massive oceanic river that stretches the length of Australia’s east coast.  I didn’t even know that the ocean had rivers in it.  Should be interesting to see how it affects us.

The bus will leave church at 10 am, we will watch the movie at 11 and then have lunch at Favazzas on the hill.  I’m excited to try a new restaurant since Zia’s is closed on Monday.  Thanks to Gloria Young for noticing this and researching what was open!

Adult VBS begins Monday, August 21st and runs though Thursday, August 24 from 9:30-noon.   Note we are starting one half hour later than we have in the past.  We will be meeting in the rafters as we did last year – that is the youth area on the third floor.  Ronna will start us off with some music and we will have a snack time of muffins and fruit about half way through.  This year’s topic is “Stuff you should know and share with others”.  We are going to talk about the real Christmas story, love languages, the Mona Lisa and other assorted topics that will intrigue you and you will want to share your wisdom with others!  Mark your calendars.
