Richmond City-wide Yard Sale
Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29 is the Richmond City– wide Yard Sale and our church is participating again this year. This was a well-received sale for the city last year and a huge fundraiser for us!!!
We need your TREASURES and your TIME! Anyone who can help for one hour or the full two days to make this year's sale a success would be greatly appreciated. We shared great fellowship and a lot of good laughs last year!
You can start bringing items in on Sunday, July 16. There will be tables set up. Almost everything is fair game except clothing, big tube TVs and computer monitors. We will also need plastic shopping bags and boxes if anyone has these to donate.
If you have any questions please contact Sharlene Haws or Kim Schrote.
Vacation Bible School NEWS
Calling all kids!!
Calling all people who know kids to invite!!
Tri-Church Vacation Bible School! August 8 - 10, 5:30 - 8 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church.
This is a safe, friendly and fun time for your kids—sign ‘em up for “Camp Out” VBS.
For children 4 years old through 5th grade.
This lively VBS program will engage your child and help them to experience for themselves how Jesus lights up the world with God’s love for everyone. They’ll have a great time making cool crafts, playing fun games, eating yummy snacks and making new friends. Kids will learn that it’s fun and faithful to share God’s love with others! Registration forms will be available in the church office and on the table in the narthex.
VBS Volunteers Needed
VBS is a joint project between First United Church of Christ, Trinity Lutheran and First United Methodist. Can you help with Vacation Bible School this year?? First UCC needs to help!
We’re looking for help with the following:
- The registration table on August 8
- Teachers (there’s a great curriculum to work with) – a couple of teachers for each activity center: Bible exploration, crafts, games
- Group leaders (Jr. & Sr. high school-aged volunteers needed here!)
This year we are trying a 3-day program in the middle of the week in hopes that this will work well with family summer schedules. Can you pitch in to help? Are there children you could invite?
If you can help, please let Pastor Denise know. Thanks so much. (630-297-1740)
