Sunday Update

Happy 4th of July TLUMC!

I hope all of you take advantage of the festivities in Monument tomorrow.  The parade starts at 10:00am and our own, High Prairie, will be in the parade!  Come and cheer them and all the entries on!

We are looking for either an Abraham Lincoln or Uncle Sam costume for the parade tomorrow. If you have a beard, hat, and jacket appropriate for either, please contact Raul Diaz at 282-8587, or bring the costume to the church TONIGHT between 5:00pm and 8:00pm! Thank you! 

There are so many exciting events happening here at TLUMC on Sunday!  We will have music by High Prairie at both the 8:30 and 11:00 service.  At 11:00 we will also have a special piano duet from Nick and Aaron Hagglof.  Troy Calhoun, USAFA head football coach will be speaking at both services about his recent USO tour to visit our troops in Iraq, Germany, Turkey, Kuwait and Djibouti, Africa.  Join us in celebrating our great country and those who serve us so faithfully.  Stay for our “Red, White and Bluegrass, An American Tribute” event from    1:00-3:00pm. There will be music by High Prairie, food, games and a bounce house.  Invite your friends! You won't want to miss it!  Hope to see you all here.

Listen to our Radio Ad:

Come and check out the artwork that some of our children submitted to be used as our bulletin cover.  It was hard to pick out which one to use for this week, but we finally decided so come and see who’s work is printed on the front of our bulletin. There is a display of all the works for everyone to enjoy.  We really have some “budding artists!”.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHURCH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The UMM is asking for help in setting up the tents and chairs for Sunday’s celebration. The tents are to be set up after the first service and before the second service on Sunday. We will need about 10 men to help in the set up. We need tables and chairs set up under the tents. The UMM also thanks all the people that have signed up to bring food for this event. All the food donations have been signed up for and the UMM will buy the pork and hamburgers and cheese.

IMPORTANT VBS INFORMATION AND HELP NEEDED:  Please sign up at the VBS table if you are able to help provide food for our “break room” for the teachers during the week of VBS (July 13-17). There is also a sign up for those who would like to help with providing food for the VBS volunteer luncheon on Sunday the 19^th.  

Attention parents of K-5^th graders.  Space is becoming Very limited for Vacation Bible School and we are close to the maximum amount we are able to take due to space and supply restraints. Isn’t it Awesome!  But if you have not signed up, you should do so this week! If you are signed up and thinking about bringing a friend, you need to sign them up also as we will be unable to accept “walk-ins” during the week.
