PARTICIPATING IN SUNDAY’S service are Jane Evans, Liturgist; Cora Lee Wetherington, Scripture Reader; Dee Nelson and Sandy Walter, Ushers; and Dick Evans, video operator. Thank you to everyone!

A TIME OF FELLOWSHIP will follow today’s service. Thanks to Dave Musick and the fellowship team for providing today’s refreshments. A new sign-up sheet is in the narthex for July through December. Please consider signing up to provide refreshments on a second or fourth Sunday. Fellowship is an important time of community within St. Paul that everyone enjoys. Volunteers are needed. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, cookies and coffee work just fine!

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IS HERE! Rainforest Falls VBS begins this evening at 6:30. Leslie and Melanie have a wonderful curriculum planned and it will be an exciting adventure for attendees and helpers alike. VBS will meet each evening from 6:30 to 8:00 pm beginning this evening, July 12, through Wednesday, July 15.

ADULT VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL also begins tonight. Pastor Laray is looking forward to this first-ever St. Paul event and hopes that you can make it to the parsonage at 6:30 to begin this bible journey together with her.

VBS OUTREACH continues this week. Our young scientists, when not busy in the rainforest, will be collecting food for the Damascus HELP Food Pantry, as well as school supplies for Small Things Matter. You are welcome to bring donations for either of these organizations and leave them in the collection boxes in the narthex. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

BIBLE STUDIES will be on summer hiatus (Summer Breeze) until September. Please watch the bulletin for the Fall dates for both Gather & Grow and The Pastor’s Evening Bible Study.

WORSHIP IN THE PARK was once again foiled by the weather. Our next date is Sunday, September 6, so prayers for a cool, dry September morning. We are excited to host our Hub neighbors for this event! The Olney Hub churches include: Mt. Tabor, Mt. Zion, Salem Brookeville, Salem Cedar Grove, Sharp Street, and Wesley Grove. More to come in August on this exciting collaboration.
