Tom Berlin’s July 11 eNote

There are a lot of things going on at the church this week, and the rest of the summer. I just want to tell you about a few things. First, take a look at the wall outside of the sanctuary. It has thank-you notes from Hutchison Elementary School. One of the things that you did this year is you helped kids get to Williamsburg and Jamestown. They are really grateful. Just take a moment and read the thank-you notes.

I also want to let you know about the Sacred Threads exhibition. It is being set up right now in our Fellowship Hall. It will be open to you on Sunday after church, and you can take a free tour, and then it is available through the week.

Downstairs, in the nursery area, the construction and remodeling that we talked about a few weeks ago has started. The nursery is going to be relocated to the first floor, Room 102. Parents, please be aware of that.

Also, I wanted to let you know about a book that a kindergarten student who attends Floris wrote at her elementary school, and her book is titled “I Love Church.” This book shows the difference that you make when you volunteer for Vacation Bible School or Sunday School. Parents, don’t underestimate the power of your modeling and teaching at home when you share your love of Christ with your kids.

This Sunday we will have our last sermon in our “Grace and Grit” series. We will be talking about Jonathan and David. I will be preaching on Sunday and I am really looking forward to seeing you. I hope you are having a good summer!
