Thanks and Upcoming Events

Special thanks to everyone for their cooperation and enthusiasm during our tornado drill. The emergency drill went very well. We learned some things and it was good to know we can evacuate to safety in about 6 minutes. We hope to address our needs and then be better prepared in case of bad weather. The Parish Nurse Committee will plan a fire drill in October during Fire Safety month. We also hope to have a class for everyone who uses the kitchen regarding the use of fire extinguishers. Some classes have also been working on the tubs to use for families in case we are a shelter during an emergency. It is not too late. We have 3 tubs currently for emergency use. If your class would still like to do a tub, please let me know.

Our Fellowship Meals have gone very well this year. Many thanks to all the groups and individuals who have pitched in and prepared wonderful meals for us. Our Fellowship Meals will end on May 26 with a meal catered by Fatz. Cost is still $5.00 per person. Reservations will be required by May 24. If you have helped cook at any time during the year, I hope you will make a reservation and join us for this special event. We are working on the menu and should be able to publish it next week. We are also nearing the end of our Wednesday evening programs. The Children’s Choir program will be Sunday, June 6. The end of year mission’s recognition program will be Wednesday, June 2. No services will be held on June 9 due to graduation programs for the County schools at Gardner-Webb. Please plan to join us for these special programs.

VBS is just around the corner and our plans are going well. Our kick-off for the faculty is May 18 at 6:30. If you are helping in VBS in any capacity, please join us for this special event. If you need childcare, please let Julie, Gail or myself know as soon as possible. Please begin now to pray for VBS – especially for the leadership as plans are made, and for the children as we reach out into our community. Paula Qualls will be leading our adult VBS this year. The topic will be How to Study the Bible and will offer tips and resources to enrich your personal Bible Study. Mark your calendar for June 13 – 18 and plan to bring your neighbors and the whole family.See You in Sunday School!
