Now in progress:

• GIRL SCOUT DAY CAMP

Coming:

• VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (July 12-16)!  This is truly the most wonderful week of the summer for so many in our church and from our community. You can still register and volunteer - don't miss it.
• YOUTH MISSION TRIP (WOW) - Experiencing inner city ministry in Knoxville, TN.
• MUSIC AND DRAMA CAMP (July 26-30) - Alysia Dodd and Erin Palmer bring joy and learning to our children as they discover their God given gifts.
• YOUTH OPERATION IN AS MUCH (Aug 9-11)  Three days of Greenville Lutheran Youth serving the needy right in our own backyard.

May your summer of 2010 be filled with opportunities to experience God in nature, community, worship, learning, and serving.

In Christ's Service
