HCC Woodstock...3 Days of Peace and Music...and BBQ...

Dear Heritage Hippie Family,

Our second annual Summer Bond starts June 23rd and runs through June 25th. Wednesday and Thursday will provide a fun and full family program from 7pm to 8:30pm with fellowship following. This is going to be a great time, and with out all the bad acid trips, mud, and poor sanitation.

Summer Bond is an event for the whole church family. And as a family we will sing, play, learn and eat together.

Friday night of Summer Bond will be a catered BBQ dinner (pulled pork & chicken, burgers & dogs & all the sides + dessert). This dinner is free if you register in advance and pick up your tickets on Wednesday or Thursday night of the event. If you do not RSVP and pick up your ticket on Wednesday or Thursday of Summer Bond, then the cost of the Friday dinner will be $7 per adult and $5 per child 5 & up.

RSVP tables will be in the Sanctuary and MC lobby on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings.

Bond; Summer Bond – Connecting with your church family.

HCC Skinny:

· 7:14Service Friday at 7pm in the Sanctuary.

· Please read 2 Corinthians 6: 1-10 and Genesis 22 to prepare for the sermon this Sunday.

· I need pictures of you when you were a little kid. So pick one out, scan it and send it to me as a jpeg file. If you don’t know what that means; pick one, put it in an envelope with your name on it and give it to me. If you don’t know what that means; just forget I ever asked. I need them for a slide show during a service. Thanks.

I love my family, may the peace of God rule your heart and mind,

Pastor Steve
