UPCOMING ACTIVITIES

BACKYARD KIDS CLUB: Rather than a traditional summer VBS program, we are taking the gospel message to neighborhoods in our community.  We are using most of the same Bible content, music, crafts and themes as our traditional VBS but it is taught in the backyards of homes. We encourage your children to be intentional and invite friends to attend. Two BKC’s have already taken place and we have two clubs meeting in July. 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.  Please 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!

July 10 – Brookside Park, 1325 6th Street, Maple Shelter

July 17 – O’Neil Park, 300 S. Maple Avenue, Picnic Area

July 24 – Daley Park and Greenbelt, 340 Wilder Blvd., Picnic Area

GABC WOMEN’S GATHERING: We are excited to tell you about a book discussion we will be having on July 11th at 7:30 pm at the home of Emily Jensen (2995 W. 190th St., Ames, IA). We will be reading, Surprised by Paradox: The Promise of “And” in an Either-Or World by Jen Pollock Michel. You can order it on Amazon or use other online vendors. The library also has the e version available for FREE using the hoopla app.  Please read and come ready to discuss! You will find questions at the end of each section to help with discussion. If you would like to bring a dessert to the discussion, please contact Emily Jensen (bandejensen@gmail.com).
