New Church Directory & Family Portrait Opportunity
Believe it or not, it is time to refresh our church directory once again! The Membership committee invites you to sign up for a photography sitting within one of our two sessions from June 26th-29th and July 14th & 15th and 19th & 20th. Every family that participates will receive one free 8″x10″ picture as well as a free printed church directory. The photo directory is an important tool that helps connect our church family across our two services and also serves as a great point of contact for our newest members. Please signup for your family’s appointment right away. You can either call in your reservation to the church office or complete it online at https://fpcspiritlake.org/directory/

All high schoolers are welcome to join us Wednesday (6/14) for our first weekly Bible study over the book of James. We’ll be meeting at the Spillway Beach (South shore Big Spirit) for bagels, muffins, and juice. Starting at 7am!

Mission Trip Meeting
The final preparatory mission trip meeting will be held at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Park on Wednesday, June 14th at 7pm. Please come to receive the final packing list, a complete trip itinerary, and the final information required for our upcoming Mission trip to NYC.

Mini Golf & Tropical Sno

All 7th & 8th graders are welcome to join us for mini golf at Pirates Cove and Tropical Sno this Thursday (6/15) at 2pm. Be sure to pack along $5 to cover the price of a sweet treat.

Let’s Go (formerly Children’s Church)
Pre-K through 4th grade students are invited to attend Let’s Go (Children’s Church), an interactive worship experience, following the children’s sermon during both worship services every Sunday through June and July. Adult leaders will lead students in a time of Bible lessons, music, crafts, and games in the Christian Education wing. Once worship is over, students will enjoy a snack time while adults have a time of coffee and fellowship. Regular Sunday School will not meet during the summer and will resume in the early Fall.

Pictures of Dad

On Sunday, June 18th we will be honoring all dads on Father’s Day. Please bring us your favorite picture of “Dad” to be presented in a slide show presentation on Father’s Day.

Lakeside Picnic

Hamburgers, hot dogs, water, ice tea and kool aide will be served. Boat rides will be available at 6pm. Children and adults are welcome to swim off the beach or dock. Children age 10 and under must wear coast guard approved life jackets in the water and on the dock.
Potluck items are requested for the rest of the meal. Sign up is in the narthex or email Cheri. Please RSVP by June 21^st.

OKOBOJI 200 News
In addition to making donations (and thanks to those who have!) there will be a couple other ways to support the Okoboji 200 cycling fundraiser to fight sex trafficking. We are looking for housing for some of the riders on Friday evening, June 30^th. This would include picking up riders from Arnold’s Park on Friday afternoon/evening and, in most cases, transporting to the church on Saturday morning. Details can be worked out, but if you have space and are willing to host a rider(s), please call or email the church office.
Breakfast Help – we will be serving the OK200 riders an omelet breakfast again this year at 9:00am on Saturday, July 1. We have been given a donation to cover groceries, but we will need people to cook, clean and host that morning. We could also use muffins/donuts/rolls/etc. to serve with the omelets. Please call or email if you are willing to furnish some food or to work the breakfast.

Thank You!
