<b>Buffalo River Day – June 24 at noon</b><br>Come enjoy a day of Kayaking/Canoeing Saturday, June 24 on the Buffalo River. The river is a calm easy paddle area with 3 “Roller Launches.” Bring your own kayaks – canoes – paddle boards or rentals are available at 3 different nearby locations. We meet at Riverworks at noon. For more info see the flyer on the Welcome Counter or call Don Swartzlander 994-1942 or Jim Wornick 913-0366<br> <br><b>Patriotic Service – July 2 at 10 AM</b><br>Join us to celebrate America’s forgotten history, emphasizing the moral, religious and constitutional foundation on which America was built. We've all learned lessons and pieces in school, but so much of the story is often left out. Enjoy patriotic songs with Bill Lambert and a performance by Kid's Church.<br> <br><b>FirstWednesday: Your Verse – July 5 at 7 PM</b><br>Slogans. Symbols. Sayings. How do you express yourself? As Christians, we know the Bible is a book of God’s limitless love, His promises, and His desires for our lives. And it’s in these words that we learn how to live and what to live for. Join us on Wednesday July 5 at 7pm and hear from 6 different Love Joy Members as they share a verse that has changed their lives. Childcare available.<br> <br><b>Summer Fun Carnival Volunteer sign-up</b><br>The front yard of our church comes alive with a FREE carnival for our neighbors on Wednesday July 26th. Help us bless our community by volunteering to oversee games, paint faces, cook hotdogs, make sno-cones or cotton candy and so much more. Sign up at the Welcome Center or contact Pastor Judy jburgio@lovejoy.org. Donations for hot dogs are greatly appreciated.<br> <br><b>Electronic Check: convenient &amp; saves us money</b><br>Do you want to pay your tithe from your checking account but don’t want to use a check? You can pay by electronic check. This option is available online at lovejoy.org/giving or you can call the church to set it up (651-0400 ext. 222). Paying by electronic check results in the lowest processing fees for the church.<br> <br><b>Compassionate Volunteer Needed: </b><br>Once a month the Sheriff's Department would like to hold a Women's Coffee Hour in the café at church. We are looking for 1 or 2 people to open the building on a Monday night, prepare coffee and provide a safe, private place for women dealing with domestic violence.
