The Visitor - Abbreviated - June 11

Mission Impossible was a Huge Success!

Thanks to all the adults who helped us drive around the city, to the teenagers who helped us stay organized, and especially to all of the kids who gave up a week of their lives to work on poverty relief and loving their neighbors.

Summer Office Hours Finally Take Effect!

That means Steve Mistich is finally coming home and Denise will be needed there for a couple of weeks. It also means we are short-staffed.

Beginning June 16, the following changes will take place

The building will be open from 9:00 a.m. through noon only each day.
We will answer the phones when we have volunteer staff present and will monitor voice mail.
We will not publish The Visitor for the next two weeks. Please continue to watch you e-mail for important announcements and prayer concerns.
If you need to make an announcement, please e-mail Thomas and Linda by 9:00 Wednesday morning.
Use the online serving schedule and communicate any changes with the Chair or Team Leader.

We are very glad to have all of you as part of the Vine Street family.
