The position will require approximately five hours per week. Pay will be commensurate with experience and the needs of the position. Please send inquiries to resumes@good.org.

Let’s go camping! Pack up your tent and sleeping bags and get ready for some fun. Arrive Friday night and set up your tent. Friday night supper is on your own because everyone will be arriving at different times. For breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and for supper on Saturday, we will be working together to cook and clean up. Everyone will be given an assignment of something to bring. Lunches are on your own as people usually want to eat at different times.

Saturday morning we will be doing a fun craft and in the afternoon we will be playing kickball. After supper there will be a talent show. There are trails for hiking and biking and a beach so you can go swimming. For more information on what to bring or if you have questions or need help getting supplies, contact Kim Vickery at kmvickery@hotmail.com. Sign up at the Family Council table in Fellowship Hall or sign up Now Online.

This event is for all types of families so come join us! Cost is $3 per person per night (children under 2 are free) plus the cost of a State Parks pass ($25). Please register by July 27.

You’re All Invited to Beach Party–Surfin’ Through the Scriptures! This is the theme for this year’s Vacation Bible School at Good Samaritan United Methodist Church held Sunday, Aug. 17 through Thursday, Aug. 21 from 5:45-7:45 PM. There will be:

• Buffet dinner from 5:45–6:10 PM
• Classes and activities for all, ages 3–adult
• Nursery care for infants–2 years old

Plans are well underway for VBS, but as you all know, programs are at their best when terrific volunteers, like yourself, participate and make it a wonderful experience. We have several opportunities for volunteers during VBS:

• Preschool through Grade 6 teacher/leaders
• Station helpers for Science, Crafts, Recreation, and Storytelling (we even need a puppeteer)
• Dinner servers (5:45–6:10 PM nightly)

This is a wonderful opportunity to make friendship connections with adults and create meaningful relationships with our great kids. If you are interested in volunteering to help bring a Beach Party to Good Sam this August, whether it’s for one or all five evenings, we welcome you to contact Jennifer at hoffs@comcast.net or Deb at deb@good.org.
