PURCHASE SUPPLIES TO HELP OUR VBX TEAM THIS SUMMER
Vacation Bible School kicks off on July 6, and our volunteer team is looking for some snack donations for the week. We’ve made it super easy to help! Just click/tap on this Amazon link.
DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY IN THE DIRT?
Do you enjoy seeing the gardens as you come in the drive? Our gardens need weeding and routine maintenance. There are 2 options:
- Adopt your own island and take care of it, even add your own touch if you are inspired.
- Offer to stop by the church anytime and pull some dandelions. We’ve got plenty for everyone!
Please contact Maryanne Wood (484-883-7495) if you are interested in either option or have any questions.
PRAYER WARRIORS FOR VACATION BIBLE EXPERIENCE (VBX)
We are recruiting a team of prayer warriors for our children, volunteers and church for our next VBX, July 6-10 from 6-8:30pm. As a prayer warrior, Jeff and Chris Cring will send you weekly prayer focuses which will inform your prayers for VBX during the week. We will offer one in-person prayer session right before the start of the program. If you are willing to volunteer as a prayer warrior please send your name, email, and/or text number to Jeff Cring.
