already have a few parents interested in going. If you and your child would
like to go, please let me know. This is a RAIN OR SHINE EVENT!! I am sure
this will be a spiritual experience for all involved! --------------- CHURCH COOKBOOKS HAVE ARRIVED! The 2010 church cookbooks are here. We appreciate those of you who pre-paid. Please come by the church office to pick up your cookbooks. All cookbooks purchases are $10.00 each and 80% of proceeds will go to Relay for Life. --------------- MOUNTAIN MISSION TRUCK The truck from the United Methodist Mountain Mission will be at First Church Wednesday, July 28. If you wish to send usable items to the mission, please bring them to the church Monday, July 26, or Tuesday, July 27, from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Items desperately needed are: Men’s summer clothes, men’s shoes, new or gently used underwear, socks, dishes, school supplies - markers, pencils, crayons, notebooks, paper, book bags, laundry detergent, bleach, toilet paper, safety pins, good boxes such at banana, apple because they stack well. --------------- YOUTH RYOT Ryot is up and going . . . off to kind of a slow start . . . but now - fully engaged and excited! We are set for Saturday, August 7 (first Saturday in August). We will be back to the "Happy Valley Bowl" (old H. V. Elementary front yard) from 3:00 - 8:00 p.m. Format this year will be a bit different: Tentatively - Begin with games and snacks, then gather everyone for local group performances, then break for food, and then gather for a time of ministry in song and the word with the group "Steadfast" leading that time. If you want to set up a booth highlighting your ministry let me know. We will use pop-ups for booths this year. All performances will be under the big tent this year so bring chairs or be prepared to sit on the ground. Please begin to spread the word. Want to help? Please let us know - will need chaperones, food servers, set-up & tear-down help, etc. We will meet every Tuesday, 6pm, at the Glasgow Wesleyan Church for planning the event. Everyone welcome. John Shepherd --------------- CHURCH LIBRARY A new church Library is in the process of being formed in the old Ralston Room and we are asking for Christian Based books to help stock our shelves. If you wish to donate books, please bring them to the church office. --------------- SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS NEEDED FUMC has an active Sunday school program and it is my honor to serve as your Sunday School Coordinator. FUMC has many opportunities for involvement in the life of our Church. I would like to invite several of you to become part of our Sunday school teaching team. There is a need for a pair of dedicated Sunday School Teachers to minister to our youth in grades 6, 7 and 8. If you are that person and feel lead by the Holy Spirit to invest your time in the lives of these children then contact me at 629-2962, or the Church office at 651-3445. Brent Arritt --------------- RECYCLED ENVELOPES Please turn you recycled offering envelopes into the church office. DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE PEWS for others to use. Everyone who uses the envelope system is given their own number and it gets confusing if someone else uses the recycled envelope. We will recycle them in the church office. Thank you. --------------- HELPING HANDS MINISTRY The Helping Hands Ministry is up and running and ready to provide services to our church family. If you are in need of minor carpentry jobs, minor electrical jobs, minor plumbing jobs, or odd jobs such as cleaning gutters, roof leaks, turning mattress, hanging pictures, etc., please contact the church office and we will contact someone to help you. --------------- FAMILY LIFE CENTER RESERVATIONS ***Please remember that reservations for the Family Life Center must be made through the office and the reservation form must be filled out to enter it on the calendar. This applies to all groups including ministries and classes. Please help us avoid scheduling conflicts.***
