Quilt Circle: The Quilt Circle meetings in August are the 6th and the 20th. All ladies are welcome, and no sewing experience is needed. A huge thanks to those who have provided such generous donations. Your gifts are being used to bless others in His name. For questions, see the sign-up sheet in the foyer.

We have a “Back-to-School” photo backdrop in the church foyer. If you would like to take pictures of your children or grandchildren as they prepare to return to school, please feel free use this backdrop for your photographs.

Prayer Chain: We have a new prayer chain/notification service. If you wish to receive prayer concerns and other notifications from the church, please put your full name and cell phone number on the back of the bulletin tear-off and place it in one of the offering boxes or return it to the church office. This service works only with cell phone numbers, and only by text.

Vacation Bible school, for children age 3 through grade 6, is August 10-13. If possible, please register online on Facebook, or on the church website. Otherwise, registration is at 5:15 pm at church. VBS activities are from 5:30-8:30 p.m. For details or further information, please contact Sherry Campise.

VBS needs donations of toilet paper rolls for use in our Vacation Bible School crafts. There is a box in the foyer for donations.

Crocker’s annual celebration, “Railroad Days”, will be held on September 5h and 6th. We would like to enter a float in the parade. If you would be willing to lead the building of a float, please contact Terry or the church office.

Wednesday night meals will resume on September 10, from 5:30-6:15. We need people to help provide or cook meals each week. If you can help by providing or cooking a meal, please sign up in the foyer. We also need people to provide desserts each week. There is a sign-up sheet for desserts in the foyer, as well.

Remember to be in prayer for those on our prayer list, as well as to all nursing home and home-bound friends and neighbors.
