MONEY MATTERS Parents and children ages 6 to 10 are invited to a free educational workshop called Parents, Kids and Money Matters today during the Sunday School hour. The workshop is designed for parents and their children to help kids learn about money and values. The Workshop is presented by Austin Rice, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans representative, and members of the congregation. The workshop is free and no financial products will be sold.
VBS REGISTRATION AND SIGN UPS—SETTING SAIL FOR THE HIGH SEAS There are registration sheets on the VBS table to pre-register your child/children. Volunteers are needed for help with VBS, along with items you can donate. See the sign up sheets in the narthex. There is also a container if you would like to give a monetary donation to help defray the cost of supplies and the t-shirts. Any questions? Please contact Nicole B.
PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace. Each bear is numbered on the back of the tag. That is the number to record in the notebook in the narthex, along with your name, the name of the recipient, and reason. The recipient may keep the bear as long as needed, or may return it to the pews to be given to someone else needing extra love from God and extra prayers from us.
