Junior High and High
School Youth are working on planning activities and fund-raisers
for the coming year. Watch for a meeting date for parents and youth on a
Wednesday at the end of August to plan and volunteer for activities this
coming year. The High School group would like to go on a mission trip to
Mexico next summer. In order to support this effort, we are providing
the food for the fall Pumpkin Festival at Elgin Christmas Tree Farm
October 19 & 20. This fund-raiser should make a large portion of the
money needed to go on the mission trip. We will need the
congregation’s support with donated items and attendance, bring your
friends. We will discuss this fund-raiser at our August 6th meeting.The
Youth Group will resume meeting on Wednesday, September 4, 7:00 p.m. at
the Chamber of Commerce office.
Confirmation classes for youth in 6th
– 8th grade will begin Wednesday, September 4, 4:30 p.m. at
the Chamber of Commerce office.
The weekend of July 20 three
of our Youth, Michael, Emily, and Pam, participated in a 30 hour famine
project with Smithville’s youth. Together they earned about $200 for
Magole! They are still accepting donations.

Sunday School Teachers
Thank you for doing such a great job keeping Sunday School going this
summer. There will be a TEACHERS MEETING to plan fall Sunday School
program on Tuesday, August 6, 7:00 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce. All
Sunday School teachers and helpers need to attend. Contact Twyla Nash,
Sunday School Superintendent, (303-6829), if you can’t attend.
We will be starting the new Sunday School
year on Rally Sunday, August 25. Rally Sunday will start
at 9:00 am. There will be games, crafts, singing, balloons, and cake.
During church the children will do memory work in groups and receive
memory awards as well as sing. Mark your calendar - we will try for
record attendance Aug 25!!
Memory work Each elementary
class has memory work they’ve been working on all year. During August
the teachers will be listening to children individually. If the child
passes the memory work, they will be in the group for Rally Sunday and
will receive an award.
Sunday School Teachers Needed We
are looking for a Junior high Sunday School teacher for the fall. As
always we could use some more assistants to help during class and
possibly teach, if needed.
