WERE GATHERING GEAR!
With Everest being our theme for VBS, we are asking to borrow
anything that would be considered climbing equipment. This could be
ropes, backpacks, pup tents, camping utensils, etc. There are some
very specific items needed, too.
PLEASE VISIT the Everest VBS display table in the back of the
sanctuary. Take a look at the sheet with items that can be loaned
or donated. If you wish to lend or donate an item(s), take the
sheet, register it on the master list, and bring the item(s) to the
church office. Be sure to attach the item sheet to the donation or
borrowed item.
VBS FOOD DONATION ITEM SHEETS ARE HERE!
This year, snacks are part of the VBS program so we are in no
need of bars or cookies. We apologize if this disappoints you.
Instead, the kids will get to make their own treats! We will need
ingredients for Trail Mix, Rock Ramblers Parfait, A Heart-y Snack,
Summit Sponge Cake, and Pizza Peaks. You will find snack ingredient
sheets on the Everest Display Table.
BE A COOL STATION LEADER At EVEREST VBS!
There is one opening left for a Glacier Games leader! All of the
carefully
planned games have a connection to the days Bible point or
lesson. All that
remains for you to do is lead the Crews in the fun at three
sessions of Glacier
Games each day! If you are interested, please check the box on
the attendance
registration.

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF SCHOOL
KITS
To the children who receive School
Kits, these supplies mean the difference
between getting an education or
not. Public school is usually free, but in
the places where LWR works, even a
few required supplies, like pens and
paper, may be more than many families
can afford.
And when parents can only afford to send
one of their children to school, girls rarely
get priorityyet the education level of
mothers has the biggest impact on
development.
School Kits are the Lutheran World Relief
project for July and August. One school kit
should include:
4 70-sheet notebooks (wide or college ruled). No loose leaf
paper.
1 ruler with inches and centimeters.
1 pencil sharpener
1 blunt end safety scissors
5 unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers (secure together with a
rubber band)
5 black or blue ballpoint pens (no gel ink) secured with a
rubber band.
1 box 16-24 crayons 1 2 eraser
School bags have already been purchased.
Donated items may be placed in the washtub in
the west hall. Thank you for helping MAKE A
DIFFERENCE!
Thank you so much for getting me to Toronto, Canada! At $2 a
mile, I still have a long way to go to get to the St. Swithuns
Boarding School for Girls in Winchester, UK. If you want to help
get me to England, you can put your contribution in the offering
plate. Make checks payable to St. Johns and put for Aline in the
memo line. Keep checking the bulletin to see how far Ive travelled.
