  FIRST IMMANUEL VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2019: “FULFILLED”

  July 15th -19th 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon

  VBS is just right around the corner – tell your kids, grandkids, and neighbors!!  Anyone from age 3 (potty trained) and up is invited to join.  This year we’ll be learning about God’s holy Ten Commandments.  VBS includes Bible lessons, crafts, games, music, and snacks, and guess what…it’s all FREE!  We need adult and youth (high school and college) volunteers to help lead or assist with the activities.  If you are unable to help during VBS hours, we can also use help with prep work.  Please let Liz Schuller at schuller.elizabeth@gmail.com if you’d like to volunteer. 

  
  GREETERS NEEDED First Immanuel is in need of a few more greeters. Greeters come 15 minutes early to church on their day and are in the narthex after the service to help visitors. The schedule has the greeter on a 9 week rotation. This could stretch to a 3 month rotation with a few more volunteers.

  Also, if you are a greeter and am no longer able to greet, please let Gail know asap.

  Please consider this valuable service to First Immanuel. Email or call Gail if you want to try it out. Thank you!
