This is ridiculous! Here it is, officially summer, and I just had to turn the heater on to take the chill out of the house!! What's up with that? I hope you're staying warm enough and finding things for the kids to do. Speaking of which, you don't want to miss out on Wapato's Vacation Bible School, which begins tomorrow morning and runs through Friday. It's FREE, which is getting hard to find nowadays. Registration begins at the church Tuesday at 8:45 AM, and children must be registered in order to attend. Sessions run from 9-11:30 AM. This is always a great time for the kids in our community.
It's time for us ladies to relax this week. Our annual WOW Hot Tub Party is this Wednesday, 7 PM, at Ashberry Lane. (Let me know if you need directions.) Bring a snack (healthy or otherwise) and come enjoy a secluded soak. The youth group will be meeting upstairs, but don't worry, they won't be able to see us!
Next week we have a special outing for women and children. Thursday, the day after The Fourth of July, we'll meet at the Tillamook Forestry Center (on the highway to Tillamook) for a picnic and wading in the creek. Most of you have probably been there before, but it's always a fun place to take the kids. There's a wonderful hands-on museum there, as well as a fire tower they (and you) can climb to the top. (You might be interested to know that my dad worked for the Forest Service, and when I was a little baby I lived in one of those towers!) Surely by July 5th we should have warm weather! Please let me know if you're coming, as I don't want to make the trip and find I'm the only one. We'll meet there at noon.
There are no Bible studies this week or next because of VBS and Fourth of July. (That's why we're having the special events instead.) For those of you who ordered books but haven't received them yet, it's because I haven't got them. I'll let you know as soon as they arrive. If you haven't attended either Common Grounds or The Perk these past two weeks, you're really missing out on a wonderful study! Come join us during the second week of July, at which point we'll be meeting every week for six weeks in a row to finish the study on our spiritual armor.
Holy Sweat, our new exercise class, is going strong and we're getting stronger with every workout! Because of the VBS schedule, Holy Sweat is meeting at 7:30 AM this week, but usually we meet at 8 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Bring light weights, water, and a mat or blanket to make the floorwork more comfortable. We've got a good group of women attending, but there's always room for more. It just makes you feel good to start the day off like that!
Well, I think that's all I've got for you this time. Hope to see you often this week!
