Beginning Year Six This Sunday begins our sixth year as your parsonage family; five years have passed so quickly. I have never served a church with greater potential than this one. Thank you for allowing us to return for another year. Every indicator points to great times of growth in the ministry and membership of this congregation. I look forward to the process of building additional facilities over the next few years. Building a facility while carrying on the ministry of the church requires a team effort involving the whole church.

The WAY Station fed:

80 children under 18

111 people ages 19-64

32 people ages 65+

223 people total 84 households New Study Join the New Beginnings Adult Sunday School Class as they embark on another journey

with Andy Stanley called "Twisting the Truth”, developed to help you and your group understand how truth can get twisted and distorted, and how that impacts your life. Throughout the study, Stanley exposes four destructive and all-too-prevalent lies powerful enough to ruin our relationships, our lives, even our eternities―but only if we let them. With his gift for straight, to-the-heart communication, Andy Stanley helps us exchange falsehoods for truths that can turn our lives completely around. New Beginnings on 2nd floor, to the left, last door on the left. Hope to see you there!

Attention VBS Church Family If you have any craft items that you are prepping at home, please return them to the church office by Friday, June 12th. We also need to start an inventory on our food and paper goods, so please bring purchased items to the church at your earliest convenience. We appreciate all the help behind the scenes in the weeks leading up to VBS. We couldn’t do it without you! We have one more official work day this Monday, June 15th from 9-2pm. Childcare is provided. Please let us know if you are able to come and help. Thank you all!

Save the Date! Sunday, June 21st at 5:30 pm Volunteer Orientation

We will be having an orientation the night before to acquaint the volunteers with the program, our

church, and each other. 5:00 pm Youth Dinner in the Gill 5:30-6:00 pm Orientation in the Sanctuary for All Adult and Youth Volunteers 6:00-6:30pm Walk through of all areas and meeting with specific station leaders

We hope that this will be very well attended so our volunteers will come in Monday with T-shirts and

nametags already, and be able to help direct the children upon arrival. We will still have a breakfast starting at 8

am in the Fellowship Hall for all children of volunteers, so that their parents can be in place early.

Please mark your calendars for this time with us Sunday evening. We want everyone to feel

comfortable, informed, and ready for a fantastic week!

Decorating Props Needed for VBS

Our decorating theme this year is Mount Everest, so we are creating lots of snow, ice, and rocks, with plenty of mountainous backgrounds. Base camp features prominently in our skits and theme, so we are looking for lots of camping/hiking/rock-climbing types of props. If you have items that we can borrow, we are specifically looking for: hiking boots, Backpacks, camp stoves, wooden crates, appropriate heavy-duty outerwear such as parkas, goggles, ski bibs, ski hats/masks, & gloves. We only need a limited amount of these prop items, so please contact Jeanne (music@rhumc.com OR 478-320-4639) before bringing any items to the church. Please let us know what we may borrow ASAP, in order that we can plan appropriately.

Thank you!
