SKITTLES Sunday School Class collecting donations for
the homeless
The S.K.I.T.T.L.E.S. high school Sunday school class is
continuing to help Project Homeless.  Put your food and clothing
donations in the collection container located next to the elevator.
For any monetary donations, make checks payable to Project
Homeless.  Your support is appreciated. Thanks!

Joy Fellowship
Joy Fellowship is a "get to know each other better" program.  
New groups of 6 or 7 are drawn every quarter and asked to get
together once a month.  

Several groups have had some trouble meeting this last quarter
for a variety of issues.  That sometimes happens, but don't give
up.

New groups for Q3 will be drawn and posted on the bulletin
board across from the offices before the end of June.  

You can sign-up at any time by contacting Jim Murray (745-
6603) or on the sign-up sheets outside the church offices.  
Additional groups will be formed as soon as we get enough new
participants.  Also, if you need to "drop-out" for a period of time,
that's ok too.  Just let Jim know -- and let him know again when
you want to re-included.  

Everyone who attends Bartlett Chapel is encouraged to
participate!  
Upcoming Events
Ice Cream Social to Honor Kevin, Erin & Avery!
As most of you are aware, Kevin Bratcher is leaving his position
of Youth Director to explore other ministry opportunities.  Please
join us for a church-wide celebration of Kevin & Erin’s service to
Bartlett Chapel during an ice cream social in their honor at 5 pm
Aug. 9 in the shelter house!

Please sign the sheet in the Narthex if you can provide a freezer
of homemade ice cream for this event.  Kevin’s favorite ice
cream is his homemade vanilla.  We will move inside to the multi-
purpose room the weather is unsuitable.  Also, we are still
collecting photos for a video presentation.  If you have a special
photo of a youth activity or of Kevin, Erin or Avery, please place
it into the basket in the Narthex by Sunday, July 26.

Bartlett Chapel Community Festival - Aug 29 -- 12 – 6 pm
   Click Here To See Pictures from Last Year
This is an outreach program for our community, our chance to
show our community how great Bartlett Chapel is. We will have
free food, games, inflatable’s and music. There will also be a
tent for community services information.

I’m sure at this point you are asking yourself, “How can I help?”
Here are some ways: We will need a bunch of volunteers to help
make this a success. There are a variety of areas you could
help…food, games, inflatable’s, parking, hospitality tent, etc. Be
watching for sign-up sheets outside the office on the table.

Another way of helping is to donate items we will need to give
away as prizes at the games: cans of pop, candy (please no
chocolate due to hot weather) any little item that could be given
away as prizes (bubbles, pens, pencils, play dough, etc.). We
will also accept monetary donations as well. Any help is greatly
appreciated.  

New to the festival this year is the Bartlett Chapel Talent
Showcase. We would like to “show off” our very talented church
members. This showcase is for any talent you may have….
playing an instrument, singing, dancing, acting, juggling, etc.
and there is no age limit. Please look for a sign-up sheet on the
table outside the office.

Our next planning meeting will be Wednesday, July 29 at 7PM
for all who are interested in helping with the festival.  To make
this festival a success and to show our community what Bartlett
Chapel is all about we need a lot of support from our
congregation. Please pray about how God wants you to help
with this outreach program. If you have any questions, please
call Kathy Selch at 403-6184.
