Summer Sunday School at St. Bart's - August 1
This Sunday in Sunday School we will not be only making the last minute preparations for the 1st Annual Lemonade Stand, we will also be learning a lesson on guarding against greed. Be prepared to be part of a "Deal or No Deal!" while we discuss how important it is to be aware of the many blessings God has given to us.
If you have offered to bring in goodies or necessities for the Lemonade Stand, please have them to church no later than 9:20am on Sunday morning!
After the 9:30 service, we invite you to stay to support the 1st Annual St. Bart's Sunday School Lemonade Stand. There will be refreshing lemonade, scrumptious homemade baked goods, and a guessing game where, with a small donation, you could win! Sit back, relax and stay awhile!

We will have professional local guides along the way, and our spiritual leader will be St. Bart's own Rev. Dr. Judith Allison.
