Teens & adults are needed to lead the children each day. Call Dianne Hylton 770-971-5074 or email dianne.hylton@mtbethel.org.
We need the following by July 6th for SKY VBS.  If you can help us out we would really appreciate it.
Beach balls 12     -  4 hair dryers  -  4 kiddy pools  - 4 small hula hoops
2 box fans or a fan that can be rotated so it blows up.  (we will be suspending balls)
If you can donate these please bring them to the Children's Ministry department before July 6th.  If you want them returned please put your name on the item and let Dianne Hylton know. Thank you so much.

If you would like to assist in children's worship on Sunday mornings beginning August 26, please join us for information and training following Vacation Bible School on Tuesday, July 10 & Wednesday, July 11 from 1:15-2:30pm in the Upper Room. Responsibilities are greeting children into the worship space, leading children in worship and assisting the worship teams with drama and skits.  This training is required for all teens (6th-12th grade) interested in returning or joining our worship teams for Kids Quest and the P.O.D.  Please contact sherri.juliani@mtbethel.org with any questions.

Moms, dads & college students, if you have the week of July 15-20 open, we really could use your help as a counselor for Camp Hope. And adults, if you have small children, bring them with you. Our kidzkamp is great and your children will have as much fun as you - make it a "family Mission!" College students - most businesses allow you to take this week because it is considered mission service, so ask. Y'all please pray about this & then call Rev. Diane Parrish at 770-971-6646.

Help Georgia's Severely Abused Kids - Murphy-Harpst Children's Center is a non-profit organization that provides abused children with behavioral therapy, healthcare and educational services to give them a real chance at life. Each child arrives with his or her own tragic story. Most have suffered extreme emotional, sexual and physical abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Most have never had a stable place to live with consistent care and regular meals. Many arrive with all their worldly possessions in a single bag and have been declared unmanageable by the foster system. Murphy-Harpst exists because these children need our help. With our services, they can grow up to hold jobs, maintain relationships and become productive members of their communities. To make a donation, please make your checks payable to Mt. Bethel with "Murphy-Harpst" on the for line.

Habitat for Humanity - Road Race Sponsors Needed.  Construction of Mt. Bethel's 32nd Habitat Home will begin in September.  The October Habitat Road Race provides much of the funding for the Habitat homes we build.  Please consider becoming a race sponsor (business, personal, small group, etc.). Depending on level of sponsorship each sponsor's name or logo will appear on the race t-shirt, all signage and race materials reaching thousands of Cobb County and metro Atlanta residents.  Your support will help another deserving family escape poverty housing and realize their dream of home ownership.  For more information please contact Ashley O'Neil at 770-314-0130 or springfield_ashley@yahoo.com.
