This Sunday you will hear about an upcoming 4th of July Weekend:

4th of July Hometown Wagon/Bike Parade

Sunday, July 3rd from 10 am to noon.

Jesus said, “I am among you as one who serves.” And so, once again, we are cancelling “regular” church so that we can be the church in the community. But this time, we are giving a specific church-wide focus, and location to that service.

Military families are usually far from home. Some are also separated from their immediate family by deployment. So we’re going to serve them on Sunday July 3^rd, by bringing “HOME” a little closer to them…and joining the community – in the community – to do so.

Here’s how:

• we’ll make easy 10 block quilts for children of deployed soldiers
• pack “Care boxes” for deployed soldiers
• make cards for deployed soldiers
• make connections to help spouses of deployed military AND
• create the feeling of “home” for all by having a “small town” 4^th of July Parade, complete with decorated bikes and trikes.

It all happens Sunday July 3^rd near church, but OUTSIDE church, in Concordia’s field, 10am – noon. For those who want to come early, join us at 8:30am to pray for our nation and the military, but the FOCUS of the day is being the church both with and in the community.

How can you help?

• PRAY for the event.

• Promote the event by taking some flyers from the lobby to let people in your neighborhood know this free event is happening.

• Make and serve freshly squeezed old fashioned Lemonade
• Help make an easy 10 block quilt for a child of a deployed soldier.
• Help decorate wagon/trike/bikes before the parade on Sunday.

• Prepare and/or make a handmade card for inclusion in the care box.

• Donate items that will go into the care box. Pick up an empty shoe box and bottle bank for extra change (for postage) in the Preschool lobby.  Choose any of these for the care box: Baby wipes, hard candy, small ziplock bags, small crossword or soduko books, trial sized toiletries, single packets of coffee, Crystal Light or Gatorade.
• Give us information about a deployed person so we can find out how we can continue to pray and support him/her as they serve our country. (Name, Rank, Branch of Service, Address, Number in his Unit/Dept)JOIN THE EVENT TEAM.  This takes a team.  Check out 4th.ToDoList and let me know where you would like to help.  Taking on a small task makes a big difference.

Pick up an empty box and bottle bank for spare change in the Preschool lobby.  Return the box anytime over the next two weeks.  Return the spare change bank before Sunday, June 26th.
