Children’s Ministries:
Vacation Bible School is July 25-29. The title this year is “Galactic Blast”. Wesley Hall and several classrooms will morph into outer space-themed areas. This is an awesome opportunity for our church to minister to Williams kids, Williams School kids, and others! Last year we served over 230 children. Won’t you be in prayer about volunteering to help pull off this HUGE project?? It is SO MUCH fun to help. Fill out a volunteer card and/or contact Sue (suecamp@cableone.net ) about your service to this worthwhile project.
A VBS meeting for all adult helpers will be held Sunday, July 11 at 4:00 in Room 108. Sue will discuss areas of responsibility for each category of workers, what to expect, and other important details. Mark your calendars for July 21, which is the day for VBS DECORATION PARTY!

We need 1 more adult male counselor and 2 more female adult counselors. Being a church camp counselor – free! Getting to spend time with WM Youth at church camp – priceless!

Church Ministries and Opportunities
Ever thought about volunteering at Williams on a periodic basis? The Welcome Center is staffed every day from 9:00 – 4:00 with volunteers who answer the phone, do light office duties, and help people who walk in the door. Summertime is a good time to try it out since there’s lots of substituting due to travel schedules, mission trips, etc. If you are interested in finding out more, contact Patsy Thornton at (903)832-3457.
Spend the 4th of July with all of our church family at Spring Lake Park this year!! We’ll have a joint service with the Texarkana Parish at 10:00. Bring your lawn chairs and expect sing-a-long music, kids playing handbells, and a message from Danny. The location is Pavilion #2 near the airplane. We’ll grill hot dogs with chips and drinks provided.
