The Children in Worship Program is seeking people willing to teach and assist in the classrooms on Sunday mornings beginning this fall. We strive for four teachers in each classroom so the monthly commitment would be to present the story once and be present for classroom assistance another week. Scheduling is done within the classrooms to provide flexibility. We are seeking one person for the pre-school room and two in the Kindergarten/1st Grade classroom. If you are willing to share some time and love with our children please call Lori Klinesteker at 392-1102. Training is provided.
The annual Shrimp Boil is August 28 at 6:30pm at Jack and Judy Faber’s home. Please see the sign up sheet on the bulletin board. The cost is $10 per person, $5.00 if no shrimp (please bring your own meat). Dessert, place settings and bottled water will be provided. Please bring a side salad or side dish to share and anything you may wish to drink.

You may have noticed a “boatload” of styrofoam piled in the corner near the entryway on Sunday. This is the result of several weeks of collections. It was staged there so that Deb and Cary Schutmaat could load it up for transport to Hamilton. Thanks to them.
When you see a pile like that you are reminded of how much space in landfills is protected by our recycling efforts. Thanks to all of you.
Remember that an area waste electronics collection day is planned for mid-August. Hold on to that stuff.
Beginning the week of July 12th is “Running 101” which starts on Monday the 13th and will meet at Holland High School at 7:00 pm. This is a time and place where members of the First Presbyterian can join together run or jog or even just walk. Hosted by Alan Martens, this class has been offered to Holland Hospital and other organizations in the community. If your goal is to run a 5k or just jog or walk around the block, this is the class for you. “Running 101” is also an 8 week class and will culminate with a 5k fun run/jog/walk on the afternoon of the Church Picnic.
