| | | Mason Matocha's Affirmation of Baptism was held on Sunday, June 8th. Confirmation is a significant milestone in the faith journey of our young Spirit of Joy members. | | To support the “Weinert Locker” which he started while attending that elementary school, the congregation made donations in Mason's honor. The Locker helps students in need of supplies and basic necessities. | |
Help Needed for Music Camp: August 4 through August 6
Spirit of Joy will be offering a wonderful summer musical experience for children (who have completed 2nd grade through 5th grade).
We need 2 Group Leaders in each of our different classes the children will attend. We have 4 class tracks, so 8 volunteers are needed. These could be anyone (including teenagers) interested in staying with their particular group, moving the class to their next location, and accompanying children to the restroom, etc.
We also need 5 volunteers who will plan, prepare, and serve lunch to these groups. Music Camp will be held Monday through Wednesday, August 4th-6th. There will be about 6-8 children receiving lunch at a specific time.
*If needed, we could have different volunteers on different days.
There is a sign-up sheet on the resource table in the worship center. Questions? Contact Pastor Megan or Leah Matocha.
