VOTERS' ASSEMBLY The quarterly voters' assembly will be Sunday, January 22, 2012. The meeting and a potluck brunch will follow the worship service. All members are encouraged to attend.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS Today in Sunday School the children learned the story "Jesus Calls Matthew." We sinners rejoice, for we, too, have been called from out own pigsty of sin to dine with Jesus around His table, and to be a friend of the friend of sinners. Consider discussing, "How did Jesus call Matthew to be one of His followers? How and why does Jesus call us to follow Him?"
SOUND SYSTEM ADDITION We are considering adding an addition to our sound system to help the hearing impaired. We need to know the number of people that would use this service. Please email secretary@splcmv.org or contact Jeff Adrian if you need help hearing the worship service. Contact Jeff Adrian for more information.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL Picture sunny days, green grass and the kids are out of school for the summer...It's hard to imagine, but it's time to start planning for Vacation Bible School! It's time to think about who will be our VBS director. May YOU would like an opportunity to serve that includes choosing the dates, selecting materials, coordinating VBS leaders and volunteers, etc. You wouldn't have to do it alone. The past VBS directors will help you, and the manual tells you everything you need to do. Interested in learning more? Contact Sue Margheim or Julie Baumler.
