Good to be back home after a full trip to the PNW! I'm grateful for the time spent with the in-laws!

😋 Besides family, our visits always center around food. Oysters and geoduck were a highlight from Taylor's Shellfish Farms. Check them out if you're ever in the area!

We have three items this week! (238 words; ~1 minute read time)

1. 🏔️ VBS INCOMING!

Next week will be our church's VBS! With the theme of True North, we expect a little over 100 kids to be joining us! Please keep our teachers and helpers in prayer as they show God's love to the attendees!

2. 🎡 FAMILY CARNIVAL

I know that many of you are working so it makes it difficult to directly participate in the VBS. At the end of the week, we will have our celebratory family carnival from 6:30pm-9:00pm! We have a few new things coming to this year's event!

• 🌭 Free food this year! To help serve the community and to welcome them in, we will be serving free finger foods for all!
• 🎟️ Raffle prizes for guests! We will be giving away gifts to families including the new Apple AirPods 4!
• 🏄🏻‍♂️ New mechanical inflatable activity! I'm personally looking forward to seeing folks attempt the mechanical surfboard we rented. Surf's up!

We will continue to have the regular games in the gym for kids to play. Stay tuned as we will be assigned a couple game booths to manage.

3. 🛁 BAPTISM

We will hold our next baptismal service on July 27! We currently have four candidates preparing to be baptized. Please keep them in prayer as they prepare their testimonies!

Have a great rest of the week!
