Registration forms are in the church office and details about the camps are on the bulletin board in the Whitman Center hallway. All camps are at SANTA CLAUS CAMPGROUND.

There are camps for 3rd through 12th graders. (We have brochures in the church office.) The church will pay half the registration fee for campers. There is a $50 non-refundable deposit for all camps. Any cancellations before June 1, 2010 will be refunded minus the $50 non-refundable deposit. Registrations CLOSE one week prior to each camp start date.

Bring your filled out registration form, and your personal check for half the fee for the camp to the church office. Checks are to be made payable to Southwest District Santa Claus Church Camp. Our church will write a check for the other half of the fee for the camp and mail in the forms.

This Sunday, June 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., all children, youth, and adults of the congregation are invited to stay after Sunday School for pizza followed by the rescheduled Patriotic Ring and Sing. We’ll eat lunch, practice using the chimes, and depart from the church about 12:15 PM to visit, ring and sing for a few assisted living facilities, before returning to the church.

If you plan to attend. email or call Diane Stepro or contact Danielle Goodwin so they will know how many pizzas to order.
