       We'll gather for lunch in Grant Park at 11 AM on June 2, and then those who are interested, can walk over to the zoo for more fun.

       Bring a picnic meal, drinks, and blanket for your family. Zoo admission is $20.99 per adult, $15.99 for children ages 3 and up, and free for children 2 and under. Several Northside families have zoo passes and are able to share their additional tickets.

"Caring for God's Creation"

The earth is the Lord's,

and everything in it, the world,

and all who live in it.

~ Psalm 24:1

The TTWL Mission Team needs your help! Our theme this summer focuses on caring for all creation-natural resources, animal life and people-so our stories and activities will incorporate the concept of preserving and reusing. We need your help in collecting items to be used for crafts.

There is a box in the Narthex for the following items:

•  two liter soft drink bottles with or without lids
•  pie tins
•  magazines with pictures of plants or animals
•  paper towel tubes
•  small sea shells to border picture frames
•  CD jewel cases

If you want to volunteer to help for one or more days during the week, please contact Rhonda Harris or Susan Harlan.

       As a parent of two children who frequent the nursery (and soon to be three children!), I want to thank those of you who've joined in to make sure that all of our children have safe and positive experiences at church. I want to especially thank the dads who have helped in recent months. Your willingness to help out is greatly appreciated---our church is inclusive in so many ways!

       We are now recruiting volunteers to care for children during the Sunday morning worship services for the summer months and beyond. Most of our volunteers are parents with young children, but all are welcome---and we need you! This is a vital area of ministry to our families and kids and your participation is important. If you're available to help out, please let Rev. Mike Gregg or me know and we will add you to the childcare schedule.

With much thanks,

Karen Perry

       Jillian Farmer and Rhonda Harris have put together a plan for a small church garden that will be located on the lawn behind the Chapel. As part of the missional work of Northside Drive a portion of what is grown will be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The garden will also provide a great chance for fellowship, an opportunity for our kids to learn about the beauty of God's creation, not to mention the tasty benefits of fresh veggies and herbs!

       So far we have a great group of volunteers but we are always looking for people who would be willing to donate to this project. If you have any questions or would like to get involved please contact Jillian Farmer at farmerjm0515@gmail.com or Rhonda Harris at rhondakharris@gmail.com.
