VBS PLANNING MEETING This year’s Vacation Bible School theme is Hero Headquarters.  If you would like to help with VBS in any way this year, July 25-29, please attend the planning meeting scheduled for this Wednesday at 5:30.  Pizza will be served, so please let Nicole B. know if you are interested in attending, so she knows how many to plan for.

SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS please see Karen P. concerning the materials for the summer classes.

THE OVER-50 GOOD SHEPHERDS will meet this Thursday evening at 6:00.  Bring a bite to eat and join the fun!

USHERS please check the box in the narthex marked USHERS and pick up your copy of usher duties and the schedule for the remainder of 2011.  If you cannot serve the month you are assigned, please contact Tom D.

PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.  We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.

TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday.  They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.  Tapes of the previous Sunday are also available.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers.  They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after each service.  You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
