Christmas in July

This will probably come as a shock to some of you, however, I was a Church Camp Counselor for four summers in college. I loved being a Camp Counselor. I loved everything about it, especially the last week in July which was always Christmas in July! We would decorate the whole camp with tinsel and lights. All week long we sang Christmas carols, and of course there were yummy Christmas treats to eat. 

July 28 there will be a combined Sunday School/Worship service in Grace Hall at 10:00, and guess what? The theme will be Christmas in July!!! I’m not sure you want to wear a Christmas sweater in the heat of the summer, however, this will be a casual service so feel free to dress festive in red and green and maybe even some holiday lights. We will sing Christmas carols and maybe have some special cookies. We also thought it would be a great time to get a head start on our Coins for Christmas collection which helps people in our community. Start saving up your coins. There will be a special offering just for the occasion. 

Please help spread the word! 10:00, July 28^th, in Grace Hall.

Peace, Josie
