Some time back, we decided to have a meeting on the 5th Sunday of the month along with our 5th Sunday covered dish lunch. Well, since we had 5 Sundays in July and the first Sunday in August was homecoming, we postponed the covered dish lunch until the 1st Sunday in August (tomorrow 8/6/06). We did go ahead with our meeting and I thought I would give a rough summary of what was discussed for those that weren’t able to attend.
We had a good week for VBS this year. We had about 11 students in total and as we’re in the busy summer season. I wanted to post a reminder about our Cookout this coming Saturday (July 8th) at 5:30 PM at the Church. We’ll have 2 short videos starting at 4PM for those that come early. (Videos in the Fellowship Hall.).
I’m a bit late in posting this here, but this coming week June 19-June 23, we will have our annual Vacation Bible School at Pleasant Grove Union Church. The hours are from 9 AM through 12 each day. There is no pre-registration required. This years topics will be drawn from the New Testament. (Covering the parable of the Prodigal Son, The Story of Lazzarus, Zaccheus, the Widow’s offering and “time for Children” from Matthew 19.)
We’d like to thank those that helped in gathering gifts for the shoeboxes to go to Operation Christmas Child. We were pleased to be able to put together 13 boxes for the effort. They’ll be dropped off at a local radio station Monday, which is one of our local collection centers.
Just a quick post to pass along that there will be no singing, the evening of August 7th.
I’ve added a section for pictures. If you click on the “History” link in the sidebar to the right, you should see a new entry entitled “Photos”, with subheadings there for different years. Currently there is a VBS photo from 1946, several from 2003, 2005 and VBS and homecoming photos from 2004. I’d like to add more as we find them. I should also mention there are several photos of the Church buildings past and present on the “Photos” page.
Welcome to the new web site for Pleasant Grove Union Church. The layout is mostly set at this point. I have a lot of details yet to fill in though on some of the main pages and of course, check back for news and announcements.
