Second Mile Giving
Our Second Mile Giving for June will go towards the purchase of Gifts Cards for Teachers. Our teachers do an outstanding job in teaching, nurturing, and caring for our children. They go beyond the extra mile to reach out and be there for the children. They definitely deserve our appreciation and thanks. Unfortunately, there is never enough funds, and many teachers have to use their own money to purchase supplies for their classroom. We will present the five teachers associated with High Desert their cards in July so that they can prepare for the start of the school year in August. If you would like to contribute to this ministry supporting our teachers, please mark “Gift Cards for Teachers” on the memo line of your check.
Special Music Performances Requested
Since the choir is taking a break for the summer, we are looking for individuals or groups to provide the special music at either the 9 am or 11 am services. mons.
4th of July Celebration & Recognition of Veterans
This year we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation. To mark this special event, we will have the following celebrations:
Friday, July 3:
A church cookout and patriotic program. We will set up tables in the sanctuary with a meal consisting of hamburgers, hotdogs, and barbecue with covered dishes and desserts. There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex. The program will consist of patriotic songs and skits.
Sunday, July 5
Patriotic worship services. In addition to the traditional patriotic hymns, we will recognize our veterans and celebrate the fact that we were created as one nation under God.
This is a great opportunity for you to invite your family, friends and neighbors.
