1. HOMEWORK! – What is the use of homework if you don’t have to turn it in? This past Sunday at the end of the sermon, Pastor Matt gave the homework to 1) think of all the things you appreciate about your parents and 2) tell them about it. Hopefully you did this already! This Sunday we will ask people to give a report about how it went. Be ready!
2. 5TH SUNDAY WORSHIP – It is the 5th Sunday of the month on July 30th. The plan is to have the Oasis children worship with their parents the entire morning. This gives both teachers and children a break. We will have “Busy Bags” available if your child needs them. We will also have a special time for the children during the service.
