Our dates for 2010 family camp are June 18-20. A few of us usually plan to stretch our camping enjoyment by arriving as early as June 17 and departing as late as the 22nd. Please get these dates on your calendar now if you have any thoughts of attending this year.
The Lake Michigan Camp has encountered financial problems in the past few years since our Conference stopped supporting it. That means we can now expect to share with one or more other churches; our days of having control of the entire day camp area is gone until we can generate enough reservations (25-30??!!). Last summer we had the use of very few of the 12 platform tents and the RV's were really crowded. We will continue to get what is left until, as a group, we make our commitment earlier - I am thinking early May.
If you expect to go, feel free to respond to this note. I will send a 2nd note in April asking for your commitment. See you in the spring! ~Lois Myers
The services are held on the first Saturday of the month. Service begins at 6:00 PM and will include music, a message and opportunities for families to worship together.
The new Saturday services will be planned and conducted by the lay speakers of VUMC. Lay speakers are church members who are not ordained ministers but who have been through special training in preparing sermons and leading worship services.
“Our goal is to offer individuals and families that are not able to worship with us on Sundays a warm and welcoming alternative,” said Vera Walker, one of VUMC’s lay speakers.
Walker described the Saturday night service as a casual, come-as-you-are experience that will combine elements of both contemporary and traditional worship services. All ages are welcome, though no nursery will be provided. 
VUMC’s Sunday morning worship services are at 8:50 AM (contemporary) and 11:10 AM (traditional). Sunday school classes for all ages are at 10:00 AM.
For more information on VUMC’s new Saturday night services or any VUMC activities call 649-2343.
Boy Scout Troop 251 hosts a paper barn the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 8am - 3pm. You can drop your newspapers at the barn south of the railroad tracks on Richardson. We do accept phone books, but we are unable to accept magazines at this time. Your support of the paper barn helps the boys scouts earn money to help pay for their week of summer camp.
