2. MISSIONS IN ACTION- We have a lot of opportunities for you this summer to help support various missions for those in need:
1. The NIC Board of Global Ministries is coordinating with Midwest Mission to organize its annual conference collection drive for Midwest Mission’s Most Needed Items. Donations will be accepted until June 13th . Bethany will concentrate on the following items. Please be cognizant of requested sizes. Flyers are also available in the narthex.

• Liquid Dish Soap, 42 - 64 oz.
• Liquid Laundry Detergent, 100-150 oz.
• Scrub Brushes
• 5 Gallon Round Buckets With Resealable Lid
2. Cereal Challenge 99 boxes of cereal in the bin. We will remember Joyce
Bahe again this year with a cereal collection for the food pantry. She
would Have been 99 this July. Let’s fill the bins to the brim. When we
reach 99 boxes we will have our kiddos to line up them up like dominoes
for a bit of fun. We have 20 so far- just 79 more to go!
3. Let’s change change! You may have noticed the change collecting cross
located on the table as you enter the sanctuary. Start looking in those cushions, under the car seats, on the sidewalk etc. It’s easier than taking coins to the bank & the more coins placed in the collector, the quicker they will change into dollars! All donations will be used for Missions. You can also send your story and/or picture of where you found your coins to the office –it’s fun to see where they are found. All denominations are accepted. Once it is filled, there will be a contest to guess how many coins turned into dollars.
3. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL- It’s not too late to sign up for this year's VBS, which will be held next week June 15-19, from 9am to 12:30pm, for youth ages 6-12 years old. Information flyers are in the narthex.
There is also a sign-up sheet on the narthex bulletin board of snack items needed to support this year’s VBS. Please stop on your way out to see what you can provide- a list is also on our Facebook page-drop off this week by Thursday June 11th by 12 noon. Thank you!
4. PEAK REPAIRS- Thank you to our diligent trustees for seeing through our “Paint the Peak” project. It turned out to be more involved than anticipated, but after many hours, it was complete!
