OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – What you ask -- Christmas already!?! YES!! Now is the time to start

watching for sales on items to fill the shoe boxes. We will put the collection box in the narthex in early Au-

gust in time for you to bring in all those back to school supplies. We also need small toys and games

(Remember they must fix inside a shoe box). They also take socks, gloves, hats, t-shirts too. See list of sug-

gested items in the July or August Newsletter.

EAGLE HARBOR BIRTHDAY CAKES – There is a new Eagle Harbor birthday list posted in the narthex

near the flower chart. It has birthdays for August through October. If you can sign up to bake a 9X13 cake

for one of these kids, it would be greatly appreciated. For further information contact Janis Milam.

New Stephen Ministry Training will start after the first of the year. If you are interested in

becoming a Stephen Minister, please sign up on the sheet in the Narthex or contact Pastor Willsea.

Our ZUMBA instructor, Donna, will be out of town for the next few weeks. Classes will resume on

Friday, August 21st in Grace Hall. It’s not too late to sign up! Just drop in and join us at 9:00 AM for fun and

exercise!

JULY 19- JULY 26

Parents with young children: Please be aware that we do have a Training Chapel for you to take your little

one to, if needed. In it, you will find a changing station with extra diapers, a restroom, a pack-n-play, chairs and hym-nals. The speaker is located on the shelf by the changing station, feel free to turn it on or up as needed. The Training Chapel is located behind the organ, to get there go through the Narthex, past pastor’s office, to the end of that hall. For more information contact anyone on the Board of Education.
