Vacation Bible School August 2 - 6, 2010.
The theme for this year is Galactic Blast: A Cosmic Adventure Praising God! Children from age 3 through 5th graders are invited to become cadets and board the starship Galactic Praise to learn about our awesome universe - and our awesome God - in a whole new way. The Bible stories reveal the wonderful, magnificent, powerful and living presence of God. Through our trusty puppet, Galileo the Gorilla, we will learn "green" tips each day that help us become more aware of how to take care of the planet that God has given us.
Hopeful Healing Hour at the Free Clinic
Our Church has been involved with the Rockbridge Area Free Clinic since its inception in the early '90's. Each year LPC provides financial assistance to the Clinic through our Outreach Committee and currently seven members of the Church serve on the Clinic’s Board: Mimi Elrod, Jane Horton, Ann Massie, Buddy Bryan, Dave Dugan, Dave Ellington, and Chuck Phillips.
The Free Clinic provides an invaluable service to many of our neighbors who otherwise would not get the treatment they need. The Free Clinic has begun offering a one-hour program and tour for people to see their work firsthand: the Hopeful Healing Hour. We ask you to consider attending one of these programs to learn more about the Clinic. Upcoming dates and times are:
| August 3, 5:30 p.m. | August 19, 8:00 a.m. |
| September 7, 5:30 p.m. | September 23, 8:00 a.m. |
| October 5, 5:30 p.m. | October 21, 8:00 a.m. |
Kindly RSVP to Katy Datz Bahhur by email at development.freeclinic@comcast.net or by calling 540-464-8700, ext. 118. This is an informational program; you will not be asked for a contribution. Come see what dedicated staff and volunteers are accomplishing in our community.
