UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
MEMBERS MEETING: There will be a members meeting this Sunday, June 2 at 4:00 pm in the sanctuary. One item on the agenda will be voting on the proposed budget for 2019-2020. Plan now to attend this meeting!
ICE CREAM SOCIAL: Following the members meeting this Sunday, June 2 at 5:30 pm there will be a church wide ice cream social. A meal with homemade ice cream for dessert will be provided. Mark your calendars and plan to come to the ice cream social!
BACKYARD KIDS CLUB: Rather than a traditional summer VBS program, we are looking for a way to take the gospel message to neighborhoods in our community. We will use most of the same Bible content, music, crafts and themes as our traditional VBS but it will be taught in the backyards of homes. We encourage your children to be intentional and invite friends to attend. For more information and locations of our Backyard Kids Clubs please pick up a flyer at the Welcome Center or go online at gabcames.org/bkc for information and to register. Contact Terry or Debbie Martens with any questions.
LUNCH WITH A BUNCH INFORMATION: (This information is available online at gabcame.org/lwab/Reminders will be posted on Facebook and Twitter each week.)
What is it? An opportunity to for everyone to gather and enjoy lunch together at a different park every Wednesday from 12:00 – 1:00 during the summer months. Bring your own sack lunch and beverage and meet at the designated park. If you have children or grandchildren, bring them to play with others and enjoy the many wonderful parks in our area. Invite your friends and neighbors!
