Summer at Sunnyside
Summer Story Time @ Sunnyside in June
The Sunnyside Children’s Library will be open on Tuesday mornings from 10 to 11 in June for children and families to come for a story, a craft and to check out summer reading material. Join us on June 3, 10, 17 and 24. Story Time will be led by Pastor Rebecca and Linda Linnen, Coordinator for Children’s Ministries.
Senior High Mission Trip
The Senior Highs will be traveling to Shelby, Michigan, at the end of June. Continuing again with Group Work Camps, we will be joining at least 400 youth from around the country to work on local homes in Shelby. Some of us will be painting entire homes, some building fences, even some of us replacing roofs.
The youth have worked all spring on their chair fundraiser and have bonded in preparation for their trip. We arevery grateful to the Bartels for letting us stay at their lake house in Baldwin for a night. We are also grateful to those of you who are able to lend us tools to take on the trip with us.
As always we will appreciate your prayers and support while we are away, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you in worship on June 29th!
Preview to Pre-school
An introduction for children entering and continuing on in pre-school will be held in August. Children will have fun with art, music, snack and stories relating to the Bible. The Preview to Pre-school will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on August 19, 21, 26 and 28.
Calling All Gardeners OR wannabe gardeners…No experience needed just willingness to take care of the flower gardens and shrubs in Sunnyside’s yard. Jobs include cleaning up in the Spring and Fall, planting the geraniums, occasional weeding and flower maintenance in the summer. We will collect a list of names and call you when needed. If interested, please call Bonnie Asbury, 243-4175, or Linda Riley, 234-1614.
Geneva Center Summer Camps
Geneva Center’s Theme this year is “Handle With Care.” God made us for relationship—with God, with each other and with creation. Through Biblical examination, campers will deepen their understanding of what it means to live in loving relationship with God, each other and creation with an emphasis on how they can “Handle with Care” the relationship with all of creation. Brochures are in The Gathering Place. Sunnyside has a camp fund in the budget which will pay up to half of the registration fee for children and youth from our church. Please contact Pastor Rebecca directly to receive this assistance. www.genevacenter.org
