During VBS, our Missions project this year will

be to collect items for a young

women’s shelter. These items will

help these young ladies through

difficult times and help them get

back on their feet. Items that are

needed are; toothpaste, tooth-

brushes, hair products, lotions,

deodorant, makeup, shampoo,

etc. or any other toiletries. Please drop your do-

nations off in the church office or to Jennifer

Edwards.

The CPR training that was scheduled for July, has

been moved to a future date in August. There is

still time to sign-up if you are interested in taking

CPR for the first time OR for those who previously

took CPR training and would like a refresher.

There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board

outside the church office. Training will last ap-

proximately 3 hours (9 AM-Noon),

here at the church, and will be taught

by the Smithville Fire Department.
