Please plan on joining us for a special celebration highlighting our Room to Read Campaign on September 21st.  During the worship service, we'll include a special children's message with Dewey Decimal who will present reading awards for those children and youth who have participated in our summer Read-a-thon, as well as a focus on our fund-raising efforts which will benefit children of Nepal.  The Sunday school program will highlight the country of Nepal and how we can help their children get a better education.  At the end of the worship service, our children will return to the sanctuary to lead us to fellowship hall with Dewey Decimal as the Grand Marshall of our parade.  During the Social Hour, we'll hear music from Nepal, enjoy refreshments that Nepalese children enjoy, and have the opportunity to purchase Room to Read T-shirts, items created by the SS kids in honor of Room to Read, and make donations to this very important ministry. In the meantime, please check out the Room to Read bulletin board in Fellowship Hall for photos and background information on this important mission or, contact Jane and Bob Breisch, co-chairs of our Room to Read Mission Committee should you have questions or have an interest in volunteering for the committee.
