THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Common sense is seeing things as they are; and doing things as they ought to be. ~Harriet Beecher Stowe
COUPLES GROUP
If there are two of you and you're looking for something a little more social, the Couples Group will get together for a meal as always on the second Friday evening of the month at 7 p.m. All duos are welcome. Check with Kathy Bremer kdbremer@bellsouth.net to see what the plans are for July 12.
WELCOME HOME BASKETS
We continue our collection of essential household goods to assemble baskets for the men of Clifton when they move into a new home. Please see the Welcome Center display for more information and bring your items in by July 14.
RHO READERS
If you enjoy reading, you might pick up Sonny Brewer's novel The Poet of Tolstoy Park and join our eclectic co-ed discussion group in the Session Room at 12:30 p.m. on July 21 to talk over the plot, the characters, and pretty much anything else.
MISSION CAMP
Our fifth year of It's Not All About Me Mission Camp is July 22-26, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with an overnight adventure to Len Foote Hike Inn on Thursday. With daily outings, we need lots of volunteers and dedicated overnight leaders who are willing to hike in and out to Len Foote. Remaining needs include additional drivers: five on Monday, seven on Tuesday, and six on Wednesday. Also, on Monday we need someone to deliver Smart Start lunches to Tucker, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. we need a volunteer at the church. If you can help out, contact Melinda Sandkam. And, don't forget to stop by to get your car washed on Tuesday, July 23, from 9 to 10:15 a.m. Donations will be accepted for the Atlanta Humane Society.
SAVE THE DATE
It's not too soon to mark off October 25-27 on your calendar and plan to get away to cool and lovely Montreat, NC, for our fifth annual all-church retreat featuring speaker Tom Long! Each year, it's been an event to remember for the whole family. Watch for details in the next couple of months.
MPP AND CHURCH OFFICE
The church office and preschool will be closed Thursday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
