We have partnered with Parker for several years and have had great success with the event. We need 30-60 volunteers to run carnival games and have a front-row seat to the show! This is a great family opportunity for kids 14+. This will be great fun and an incredible opportunity to get JOY’s name out in the community. Please consider helping and click HERE.

Let's keep spoiling those seniors! We are leaving the baskets out for a few more weeks to help fill them up! Since there are so many graduates, and it can get costly, we encourage you to team up with another person or family to help fill those baskets with simple, yet meaningful things. Get creative and share the load. What a joy to have so many kids to love and send onto the next phase of their lives with good stuff.

We have an orientation to help get the team acclimated and excited about the event! Please plan to attend our orientation on Sunday, 6/26, immediately following worship in the fellowship hall! We’ll have a quick chat about the schedule, expectations and next steps!

It’s almost time for VBS and this year we have an amazing theme: Food Truck Party! We’ve got a hefty supply list and could really use your support to ensure all 80 kids have a memorable experience! Please bring all contributions to the Donation Station in the church narthex no later than July 4th. Coordinator, Brianna Zenk, will update the list each week until all items have been fulfilled! Thanks a million for your help! See the supply list HERE.

The book of the Bible with the most favorite verses is Psalms. Gratitude, prayers, songs, praise, liturgies, wisdom, faith, strength, instruction, God’s love, guidance, and more are found in Psalms. It’s a great book to read and share. “O give thanks to the Lord; call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples.” Psalm 105:1 encourages us to share God’s amazing love and works with others. (That’s evangelism!). Read Joy’s favorite Psalms verses HERE. Be on the lookout for more favorite verses in the future. If you missed sharing your favorite Bible verse, write the verse on a piece of paper and place it in the offering plate by July 10.  -The Evangelism Committee

The Joy 50^th Anniversary Talent Show

Calling all performers! We are looking for talented folks ages 5 and up to share your gifts with our congregation as part of our 50^th Anniversary Talent Show on Thursday, August 18th, at 6:30pm. All types of acts are encouraged, such as dancing, juggling, magic, singing, poetry reading, playing instruments, tasteful comedy, gymnastics, skits, ballet, karate, etc. As long as it is family friendly, appropriate, safe, and will be enjoyed by an audience, it’s exactly what we’re looking for! We’re also in need of a host or pair of hosts to keep the show moving and the audience entertained.

Detailed information and entry forms for performers and hosts will be available in the narthex near the Donation Station, beginning June 25^th. No audition will be necessary, but all acts will need to sign up for a performance preview with Linda, to be completed by July 15^th. She needs to see your act so she can best plan the flow of the show, and also confirm all sound needs, props, etcetera. For more information contact LINDA HOLCOMBE, Director of Music Ministry; 303-841-3503.
