Vineyard Community News: August 08
We have the dates set for our next two
Mazatlan Medical Mission trips. They are Sept 18-25
and Dec 31-Jan 7. Due to rising fuel costs affecting airplane tickets, we
would like to buy tickets as quickly as possible for the next two trips. If
you have any interest at all in going, please contact Bill and Katie Iverson asap. Their number is 358-9108. The total cost of the
trips will be around $1100. We have life changing experiences each and every
time we go to Save the date!! We will be having
an all church picnic on Sunday, September 7, 2008, starting at 4:30 p.m. at
the East Overlook Shelter #3. We will
also be holding baptisms at this event -- please contact Mim
Winn if you're interested in being baptized.
East Overlook is the park at the top of the Coralville Dam, just east
of the dam, immediately to your right after you cross over the dam or just to
your left right before you cross the dam if you're coming from the east. It
has a large shelter, bathrooms and a playground on the premises. So bring a dish to share & join us in
the fun & fellowship! Women's Retreat 2008--Finding God in Every Day Make way for this year's Women's
