Keith's Quill

This month Dianne and I will be going on a vacation. Vacations are necessary for what they can bring to us in the way of relaxation and renewal. I hope that all of you that work can take advantage of a time away from the ordinary routine of life to see and do some things to stimulate your heart and mind.

For us, it will be a short visit to see my mother and some family on our way to the Summit League Conference Track Meet for Dayna and Kelly. After four days in Fargo, North Dakota we will take a couple days to travel to Nashville, Tennessee for a wedding of our niece to her handsome Australian fiancé. Kelly and Dayna will fly into Nashville for the wedding and will travel with us on our road trip back to Moab. It will be many days of travel but a good time to renew our love of the Midwest.

We do plan a stop in Gibbon, Nebraska to see the home and church of Matt and Melissa Wolfe. We are so proud of the job they are doing there. We leave the church in great hands. Be sure and call the church office if you have any needs. Rena Calkins will be there during the morning hours to assist you and keep things running. I am thankful for Bernie Radcliffe and Silas and Sarah Rappe who will be filling the pulpit while we are away. Be sure and come to support them as well as be blessed as they share their hearts and ministry with us.

Also may I put in a plug for Vacation Bible School? This is a great time for ministry to our kids and the children of our community. Your help, prayers and support of this important program would be appreciated.

I would also like to throw out a well done to our Seniors who will be graduating from High school on May 31st. Pray for them as they begin a new phase of their lives.

On a more personal note, Kelly is also graduating from Southern Utah University with Honors. We are very proud of the way he has handled his college experience and his dedication to the Lord through it all. He will be beginning work on a Master's Degree at the University of Utah in the fall.

God bless each of you. We love you and look forward to coming back from our travels ready to tackle all the good things the Lord has in store for us.  -PK

Vacation Bible School

“Sky” Vacation Bible School is only two months away, but it’s really just around the corner as far as preparing for this fun event. Check your calen-dars, or better yet, make room in your calendars to be a volunteer for this great outreach event. It starts Monday, June 18 thru Friday, June 22nd from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There are many of you who want to help, but cannot because of your work schedules. There will be three (3) days in June that you can help. One is on a weekend for those folks who work during the week. Sunday, June 17th is our big set-up day and it will take many hands to transform our church into a “sky” (per the theme) Friday, June 22 is our tear-down day. This also is a lot of work and we need help getting the church back into its normal state. (We have to be out of all our buildings by 1:30 on Friday, June 22nd, as there is a wedding and reception in the church that evening). So mark your calendars to come help on those days. The third day will be a work day full of projects, but the date is yet to be determined.

ITEMS STILL NEEDED:

Pool Noodles to borrow for the week, 20 rolls of toilet paper 1 plastic kiddie pool and someone to build catapults (I have instructions for these)

Thank you to all of you who have already volunteered your time. Rebecca Divine, Director
