SUMMER BOOK CLUB STARTS JUNE 25

Each year we hold a book club which meets Mondays for eight weeks.  This year we will be studying a book called Reaching Out, by Henri Nouwen.  The book is short enough to be easily managed in eight weeks. The book can be ordered from Amazon or any book store.  We begin on June 25—7:00p.m. at Beaver’s house. 

Kory Hollingsworth has been working with the Regional Animal Services of King County to complete his Boy Scout Eagle Project. While he was at the animal shelter on Tuesday, he learned that they are in need of used bath towels.  If you have any old bath towels that you are ready to retire from your collection, please bring them to church on Sunday and Kory will make sure they get taken to the animal shelter.  The dogs and cats will love you! 

New and improved BUSY BAGS for the summer. For the months of July and August, we will still be having a Children’s Message for the children, but instead of being dismissed to Sunday School, they will return to their seats for the remainder of service. HOWEVER, we have new Busy Bags for the children to engage in.  They will be UPDATED WEEKLY, so each week they can have new activities and stories to follow along with. 

Let’s wear those nametags!!
As our church family grows we frequently see new faces in church. I’m sure you all have seen, and many of you use, the name tags displayed each Sunday in the foyer.  We encourage you all to wear your nametag each week.  Doing so is an easy and friendly aid for visitors, new members and those of us afflicted with “senior moments.”  How many times have you thought, “I know who you are, I just can’t remember your name”?
If you don’t have a nametag, have lost yours, or know of someone new who needs one, Jan Matsumoto will make a new one for you.  There are clip-on badges available if you don’t like the pin-on kind.

The other useful tool for connecting faces and names is the “picture board” in the coffee room.  Our aim is to have a photo of everyone, members and regular attenders.  If your picture isn’t on the board let Jan Matsumoto know, and a time can be scheduled for taking your picture.

SOUND TECH OPPORTUNITY - We are looking for someone to help create and enhance an atmosphere of worship by serving as a Sound Tech Sunday mornings and/or for special services.  We will provide training needed.  Please prayerfully consider this ministry and talk to Edina Blackstock or Paula Hawkins if interested.”

Support SPC Youth

Youth Job Board is ready for business at Southminster.  The youth are very excited to be serving the people of Vancouver, B.C. this summer.  The youth have requested opportunities to use their skills to help pay for the costs involved in getting to Vancouver.  Youth job skills are posted in the coffee area.  All jobs must be completed by June 30^th.
