VBS THANK YOU!!! We had an exciting week of VBS at “Cave Quest—Following Jesus, The Light of the World.” We had 91 3-5 year olds in the morning and 65 K-5th graders in the evening.

We took a journey learning about how God has the power to provide comfort, heal, forgive and to love us forever.

The week of VBS couldn't be complete without our fabulous volunteers. Thank you for helping make “Cave Quest” a huge success, and thank you to Pastor Mark for your support and the closings each night.

This week could not have been possible without Susan Richard and Lea Webb, who spent months and months planning and organizing. This was Susan’s 20th year as leader of VBS and RLC gives special thanks to her for all her years of service.

Thank you to all the following volunteers Diane and Sarah Hooper Lewis, Sandy, Ben and Joseph Wuori Jessica and David Andrews Claire, Morgan, Adrienne & Brooke Patterson Jennifer Clark Christine Dudek Laura Simmons Cater Timberlake Bill Werner Mark Otten Logan and Lauren Webb Randy, Ryan and Bryce Murray Jamie Thieme Jonathan Kendall Ethel Sherry Sarah Reynolds Ashley & Camryn Huddle Annalisa Striplin Emma Key Becky and Elizabeth Thomas Abby Smetana Alden and Geneva Bostian Emily, Jenny and Piontek Linda Merrill Lindsey Wood Brent Tackman Rees Dudek Kathy Rasmussen Mackenzie Huskes Olivia Haley Christopher Saacks Sharon Hahne Wendy Zei Nicole Orso Annaliese Paulin Eugene Yamararus Mary Buckler Ross Bowen Amy Richard Colin & Madelyn Mudd Bob Unger

Baptism Preparation Class Welcome to the Family

We are back from our mission trip to Charleston! What an adven-ture! We dodged heavy rainfall and flooding to serve the people of Charleston and explore the city. We are grateful to have been kept safe and we keep those who are suffering due to flooding lifted in prayer. Our YouthWorks Team kept us busy and uplifted throughout our stay in Charleston. We lift them up as they go on to host more ser-vants throughout the summer. We are grateful for the support of our congregation, which makes these amazing experiences possible. I'm already planning next year's mission experience. Join us!

Your Charleston Team: Mrs. D., Jacin Suskin, Steve Cottle, Lea Webb, Logan Webb, Ross Bowen, Shaelyn Kerns, Adrienne Patterson, Ethan Myers, Jonathan Suskin, Jathan Persson, Madelyn Mudd, Emma Key, Jason Key, Lucas Kube’, Mary Buckler and Brandon Burgiss

ADULT EDUCATION ON SUNDAYS. Our adult class, The American Heritage, is on vacation this weekend--there's NO class on Sunday, July 3. We WILL resume on July 10 in room 24- at 9:20 AM. That class will continue the topic of The Faith of our Founding Fathers, of whom there were about 250.

Even if you haven't joined us before, come join us! There's no book to buy, no homework and each class explores some new issues of historical faith. We've been running between 24 and 27 each Sunday so it's a good group--ready to share, ask questions and express wonder about our nation's early heroes and our early documents. Grab a cup of coffee in the fellowship hall and come and join us!

Pastor Dave will be leading a presentation on preparation for baptism on Sunday, July 24 from 9:15 - 10:30. We are planning to meet in room 246, if this changes, I will update the new location. This is a great opportunity for anyone anticipating a baptism in the next several months. Lutheran baptism theology and practices will be discussed as well as practical matters such as choosing godparents. This is also a great opportunity to connect with others going through the same process. Please reply to maryann.unger@rlcary.org if you plan to attend so we can have materials ready.
