St. John’s UCC will be holding Vacation Bible School July 15-19.

The church needs to borrow some items for the program, including solid-colored sheets of beige, tan, gray, taupe or light green as back drops or to cover furniture; old bed pillows or bean bag chairs for sitting; solid-colored or brightly colored throws or throw rugs; and any medium to large baskets for decorations.

Pin your name to the items, and drop them off in the box under the easel in the church parlor. Items will be returned the Sunday after VBS ends.
