Update for May 31, 2010


The good news about the arrival of hurricane season is that summer is here, too! Enjoy some time off from classes, and get lots of rest!

Announcements:

KidQuest is June 14-18, and we need your help to make it succeed! We will be sharing the Gospel with 180 children from diverse backgrounds and homes across Houston. We have iplanned a safe environment to minister to children, youth, and adults as they experience Christ’s love firsthand through the words and actions of our congregation members. We are mindful that in order for KidQuest to successfully meet our ministry goals, we need our entire church family to give of their gifts and resources. To that end, this is the help we need from you:

We need lunch monitors to help kids open juice boxes and take lids off of pudding cups. This short but crucial commitment allows teachers, leaders, and youth who work all day long take a much needed break to eat and fellowship with other adults or teens as they refuel both physically and spiritually over Bible study and lunch. Please show up between 11:45 and 1:20 -- even one day helps! Lunch will take place in the gym on Monday and in the Fellowship Hall from Tuesday through Friday.

We need folks to bring in candy, nuts, and chips to the preschool hall in the Loessner building on Sunday, June 13 to help sustain the adults and youth as they take short breaks to get a bite and catch a minute of quiet or share how they see God throughout the week.

If you want to serve as a crew leader or in any of these other capacities, contact Dolores Rader or Mel Musgrove ASAP.


SMBC choirs will sing the National Anthem at the Astros game on Tuesday, June 22 at 7:05pm. Go to smbc.org to purchase $15 tickets in the big block of South Main seats!

Manna, South Main's mission to the homeless right on our doorstep, takes place at 8:00am every Sunday morning. If you would like to volunteer to set up and/or help lead the Manna worship service, please contact Erin Conaway.

The Discipleship Committee is looking for volunteers to pray for worship services. If you are interested, please contact Ruth Campos or Lu Alcazar.


Prayer Requests and Praises:

Sarah Villasenor has a (or maybe two!) summer job(s)!

Sarrean White's grandmother is having medication issues.

Pray for the success of KidQuest, and that it touches many children's and family's lives.
