Weekly Update for Sunday, June 23, 2019
This year’s Beach Bash Block Parties are coming July 13th, 20th and 27th from 6:00-8:00 pm.
We are having a meeting for all volunteers (food, set-up, centers, group leaders, registration, music, – everyone) on Sunday, July 30th after church. Anna Jackson promises to keep us no longer than 30-45 minutes. Meet in the JOY classroom.
In the bulletins this Sunday, you’ll find flyers to share with your neighbor, friend or family. There are more on the welcome center. The yard signs are ready for you to take and place in your yard. Please sign the sheet if you take one.
We will need 12 dozen cookies each week. The sign-up sheet (on Welcome Center) has 6 spaces per week, 2 dozen cookies per volunteer.
We still need the following: 2 pop-up tents (10×10 or 15×15), 2 plastic wading pools, Photo Booth stuff (Big sun glasses, hats, Hawaiian flowery shirts, flippers, snorkel, large surf board shorts – silly beachy stuff). There is a donation box on the Welcome Center for food and door prizes.
We will start setting up at 3:00 on July 13th and need all the help we can get.
We thank everyone who is willing to help and encourage and PRAY! Please continue to pray for this outreach into our community to spread the Gospel.

It’s a Keeper!
I admit that I own several guitars. Some people don’t understand this. I have guitar-playing friends whose wives tell them, “You can only play one at a time!” But they don’t understand that each guitar has its own sound and feel, and they are like different tools in your tool box. I suggest that they respond to their wives in kind: “Honey, why do you have so many pairs of shoes? You can only wear one pair at a time!” So far none of them has taken my advice.
My wife has always been incredibly understanding about my guitars. When we met in high school, my guitar playing was one of the things that attracted her to me. (A guy needs all the help he can get.) My wife is a musician, too, and she loves music as much as I do. And besides, she says it keeps me off the streets.
