Announcements
- Little's Baby Shower is August 6, from 4-6p. Hosted by the Rays. More information to come.
- Small groups will start having informal Sunday lunches: Blakelys (1st Sunday), Elams (2nd Sunday), Morgans (3rd Sunday). Basically, the small group leaders will plan to go out for Sunday lunch once a month. If you can attend with your group, feel free...if not, no problem :) We just want to keep our class connected and help the new couples to plug-in easily.
