It’s a Small World – Our Reach Out Rally is today. We’ve planned a celebration of cultures, languages, and customs, including an international potluck. Please plan to stay for lunch afterwards.

Men’s Prayer Partners – All the men of the church are invited to partner together in prayer for our church, for our families, for our community, and for ourselves.  We will gather Saturday, July 5 from 8-9:30am at the Kinzler home, 120 Valdivia Dr.

Youth Works – Our team of 10 teens and 3 adults left yesterday for their missions trip to Tecate, Mexico. Pray for them throughout this week for their safety, ministry and spiritual growth. Thank you to all who came to the Talent Show, Dinner & Auction. Your contributions made this all possible.

VBS Needs and Donations – There are still needs you can help out with for VBS. See the insert for all the details. Also if you would like to give a financial donation specifically toward this year’s VBS, it will be used for scholarships and other specific VBS needs. 

VBS Registration – Don’t delay registering kids for Custom Garage for July 14-18 from 6:15-8:30 each night. The registration cost goes up July 1. Get yours in today!

Kids @ Play – Looking for something to do this summer? Each Thursday we meet at various locations around Santa Barbara. There’s no planned program, it’s just a time to play, eat lunch, and hang out. Invite another family along. This week we’re at Central Library at 10:30am for a story teller/auto-harpist and then over to Kids World at Alameda Park for lunch and play. The full summer Kids @ Play schedule is on the Welcome Table.

July 4th Celebration – It’s always more fun to watch fireworks with others! Come, gather together on the SBCC lawn this Friday starting at 6pm. Bring your own snacks and dinner, blankets, and games to play while we wait for the fireworks to begin.

Compassionate Ministries – Bags for Crisis Care Kids and Flood Kits are available in the foyer. Please bring them back as soon as you can so they can be sent out to those in need.
