Hey Everyone,

We need volunteers to help staff the Summer Food Program at Mt. Scott Park starting this Tuesday August 18th and running through September 4th. The Summer Food Service Program provides meals to children who eat free and reduced priced meals during the school year.This helps ensure that hungry children are fed year-round. The program provides a free lunch in the park for any one under the age of 18.

The program officially ended yesterday HOWEVER, additional funding was secured to continue the program until the school year begins in September. The city has partnered with Imago Dei and various other churches and organizations to find volunteers who can staff the program. Second Stories has volunteered to be responsible for supplying volunteers to the Mt. Scott Park

Would you be willing to serve lunch in Mt. Scott Park from 11:30-1:30pm any day of the week?

You don't have to commit to more than one day. You can bring your own children along. Would you be willing to help out? Please contact me if you are interested!

It will ask you to choose a start time. We choose 8:30, and my past experiences suggest starting as early as possible. It might be the greatest traffic jam in the world, but a traffic jam none-the-less.

Communion

I’m looking for someone to help out with setting up communion this week. The start time is 7:00, and the lady who you will be working with is fantastic.

Playing Home Community

A few weeks ago Nate and Noah were over here playing at the Cox house. They all decided playing "home community" sounded like fun. I guess they think we all just sit around and stare at each other because that's pretty much all they did...besides giggle a lot. After I put the camera up Aviana decided they should get out the Bibles, but then the game kind of fizzled because nobody knew what came after that.

Pretty cute.....

July 4th Picnic

You all are invited to a picnic at Wilshire Park. Andy Brown (pictured above) is throwing his annual party, and hopes to have 300 folks in attendance. He will have bounce houses and will provide hamburgers, hotdogs and veggie burgers and is asking people to bring a side dish to share. Afterwards will be a large and mostly safe fireworks-palooza.

Sunday, July 5th

This weeks group is at the Costellos! Haylee and Moriah will be taking care of childcare and Tim, Laura, and Sarah are on snack duty! See you there!
