<p><br>Vacation Bible School is this week, July 14-18, from 6:00-8:00 each evening for ages 3 through sixth grade (just completed).  We are so grateful for the many people who are helping with Bible School.  If you are unable to be there, you can help by praying for the volunteers and children who will be coming.  You could also give a donation to help cover the cost of supplies or contribute to the offering to help support the Mennonite Church in Columbia.  Questions, see Lisa Shelly or Regi Martinez. 

<p>All volunteers for VBS are encouraged to come to an orientation meeting this afternoon at 4:00 in the Commons Room.  This includes anyone who is helping with Bible School. Come for information about the Bible School plan and schedule.  If you cannot come, please contact Lisa or Regi. 

<p>Next Sunday we will have a special worship service reflecting the themes, songs, and Scriptures from Bible School.  Questions?   Talk to Elaine Maust.

<p>Gifts Discernment sheets (where each person has the opportunity to express which roles he/she would like to do for the upcoming year) were passed out last Sunday.  If you weren't at the service, a form to complete was placed in your mailbox.  If anyone didn't get one or needs another form, please contact Lisa Shelly.  You can also get a form on Jubilee's website.  Please return your form to Lisa by next Sunday, July 20.  Questions, contact gifts discernment team: Duane, Jeff, Dianna, Paul, Fern, or Lisa.
