July 22 Bulletin Announcements

Do You Have A Three-Year-Old?
As the elders and deacons work on spacing issues with the nursery and have asked parents to keep their 3 year old children with them, we would like to remind everyone that children’s church is for children ages 4 to 6 years old. The curriculum and structure is designed specifically for children in this age range. If you have further questions about children’s church please contact Lynnette Killy or Bianca Altman.

Evening Service
Our next evening service is August 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall.

Lemonade & Lightning Bugs
This Thursday night is our mid summer Lemonade and Lightening Bugs fellowship in the Bayly backyard. We will meet at 8:00 pm. Bring your bathing suit for a refreshing dip in the pool if you so choose.
