Bright Beginnings Pre-School began its Summer
Camp this week. Children will be attending on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays this summer.
There are two three-week sessions: June 12-28 and
July 10-26.
For his Eagle Scout project, Brian Dube, the son of
Barbara Dube, a teacher at BBPS, is doing some work
to our playground this summer. For more information
about that, click
here.
Pictured, BBPS children take part in the "Spring Sing"
on May 23, which concluded the 2006-07 school
year. Thank you for continuing to hold the BBPS
children and staff in your prayers.

If you have not stopped by the DCC website
recently, click
on over. A significant update was made on
Tuesday, June 5. There are videos and
photos
from the basketball camp.
Remember, church leaders can find important
documents on the
download page. Additionally, all of Rev. Coats'
sermons can be found on the message series page.
Also, don't forget to visit the online
calendar. It enables you to send yourself
reminders of upcoming events, send invitations to
friends and colleagues and download the church
schedule to your personal computer.
You can find all of the church activities, birthdays
and anniversaries on that calendar, as well as
the
scheduled Elders,
Deacons and Connectors for
each Sunday. Also, there is a place to
submit prayer requests.
For website suggestions, please e-mail the
church office.
