Rachel Clark, (630) 607-9938 [email protected] The congregation at New Monmouth Presbyterian Church welcomed its newest confirmed members and church members Sunday. Congratulations to Calvin Clark and Kayleigh Knick-Adkins. We celebrated these new members with a reception after church and had a great time of fellowship.
We had the blessing of celebrating communion on Sunday morning. Thank you to Calvin for the prelude. Thank you to the praise team for leading all the songs on Sunday morning.
Vacation Bible school is happening at New Monmouth this week. “Nicodemus, P.I.” is leading us in investigating Jesus and following his track. Thursday will be the final evening of VBS. Parents and families are invited to join for all the activities on Thursday evening at 5:30. We will begin with pizza, have some fun trivia, children will share the songs they’ve been learning, and have games and activities.
Thank you to everyone who has helped prepare for vacation Bible school. Nancy Sensabaugh and others have been big proponents of VBS for many years.
Many high school and middle school students will be helping with VBS this year. Thank you.
On Friday night, New Monmouth will host a game night for all ages. Whether you want to play Scrabble, Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, or Uno, we’ll have opportunities for fun and laughter.
Music Sunday is coming up this Sunday. We have several different groups who will be sharing music in worship. Join us at 10 a.m. for this special worship service and stay for a covered-dish potluck. Kenney’s chicken will be provided. Please bring a side or dessert to share.
There will be a church retreat Sept. 6-8 at Massanetta Springs. Put it on your calendar. Different lodging options are available. Look for a signup sheet on Sunday.
