Be In The Know - June 23, 2016

FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS



1. Duct Tape Needed
The youth group is preparing for camp and they still need duct tape - lots and lots of duct tape, so they can build a boat for the cardboard boat race that will take place while they are there. Please drop off donations to the church office by Friday at 5:00 pm. The group leaves for camp on June 26th very early in the morning. THANK YOU! 

2. Business Meeting
Our next regularly scheduled Business meeting will happen July 20th at 6:30 p.m.  At this meeting we will get ministry updates from the Olathe & Gardner campuses and we will vote on changing the name of the Olathe Campus. Absentee Ballots are now available - please see Leann Carrick, if you need an absentee ballot. Absentee Ballots should be returned to Leann not later than close of Business July 19.  There will be a potluck supper before the meeting beginning at 5:30 p.m. Please bring a dish to share according to your last name: A-I Main Dish; J-Q Salad or Side and R-Z Dessert.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED?
Ginger Sparks would like to know what the interest would be for a Bible Journaling small group. Bible journaling combines Bible study with art.  See the photo for an example. It would require that you purchase a Journaling Bible and possibly some drawing/coloring supplies. If you would like to learn more please email Ginger at stampinginger@sbcglobal.net
 


 Other Stuff

Mandy King and Jennifer Guilliams are hard at work prepping for a preschool to open this fall at our Gardner Campus - Connection Community Church. There is currently a need for a Laptop computer that is wireless, has the current Windows operating system and Microsoft Office Suite. If someone is able to gift Connections Preschool with one - it would be a tremendous blessing.

Now you are in the know
Until next time...GOD BLESS
