Hello VBS folks! Meeting number three is in the books and we're rapidly closing in on VBS week. Sonworld's theme for VBS 2008 is an adventure park. So you know how adventure parks have different areas like a wild west town or a space mountain and so on? Well Sonworld has the same thing and that means our station leaders will be dressing up in character! For example Gary's area is called Du bloom Lagoon so guess what he will look like? That's right, pirate Gary at the helm! To find out what other station leaders will be dressing up as you'll need to be at the next meeting! That information and the rest of what happened at the meeting is listed below:

• Pray for Belinda, she has had foot surgery and is recuperating
• Sorry no youth concert, most bands were scheduled way out in advance of our dates so we will start looking right after VBS for a group next year
• Dave will be visiting the local churches in the next few weeks to promote VBS. So pastors if you see me in the pew I am there to make a short announcement and say thanks for your support!
• There will be an open praise team practice for kids wanting to lead the songs for the opening sessions each night. The practice will be at the Presbyterian Church August 3rd at 4:30
• Churches don't forget we need your volunteer list at the next meeting!
• This year's the kids offering will go to Junction
• We will be asking everyone to bring canned goods to the Unity Service for the Food Pantry
• Continue to pray for a youth leader
• We will be having a follow-up VBS party in September at the Junction. This we will be a great time to help kids get connected to our local churches. If your interested in serving on this committee notify one of the Community VBS representatives
• There will be a Grove lawn mowing and clean up day on August 2nd beginning at 10AM. Tell as many folks as you can to bring rakes and wheel barrows so we can help Brian N. get things ready for insecticides (rain date is Aug. 3rd @ 1PM)
• Attention all pastors! We need you to attend the next meeting to help plan the Unity Service!
• The next meeting will be JULY 22nd @ 6PM @ the Junction!

God Bless everyone and continue to pray that God will bless VBS. Make this years VBS theme verse your prayer for yourself, our community and the kids. Pray they will all give their lives to Christ:
