“Older” youth will enjoy inside games. Everyone can enjoy popcorn and snow cones, and balloon animals will be made. We are also asking for volunteers to provide churns of homemade ice cream. Please let Vicki know if you are willing to provide a churn.
Community Serve
As we prepare our children to go back to school, we are asking you to help the children of our community. Please bring school supplies to our Sunday worship service or to the Back to School Bash TODAY. We are asking for crayons, paper, glue/glue sticks, composition books, erasers, pencils, Kleenex, Clorox Wipes, and hand sanitizer.

The Collect (seated and in unison) Precious Lord, take our hands, we are weak but you are strong. We reside in a confusing age, a time of bombs, labels, and language which does not reflect your love or grace. Help each of us to be truly mindful of our actions, our attitudes and lives that they always offer praise, honor and respect to You. As these days of summer wander away, may we be even more aware of the power and vitality given to your church in this Pentecost Season of the church. Lead us, Lord, lead us in your righteousness, in your beauty, in your justice and your kind love and respect for all individuals and for the institutions which hold our world and society together. We are better as one than many. Lead us, Lord. Bring us Your Spirit. And in the name of the Power we are bold to pray.

Bless my paper and my pen.
Guide my spirit deep within.
Help me think and help me play,
This whole school year, day by day.
As I move from class to class,
Guide my footsteps; clear my path.
Keep my tongue to speak your words.
Let your will for me be heard.
In every subject high and low,
May God’s excellence be shown!
Keep me strong to reach the prize,
To grow in grace, becoming wise.
Whether far from home or near,
May I hold God’s precepts dear.
To do my best at every task;
For this blessing, I do ask.
Help my family be a part
As I lift my mind and heart.
As I study, work, and pray,
Be with them throughout the day.
Of whom much is given, much is required.
May learning be your greatest desire!
Back to School Blessing By: Rev. Marilyn E. Thornton
