Dear Friends,

I have received this letter from Glennda Hardin of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church appealing for volunteers for the Hungerbusters program:

"Hungerbusters, the summer meal plan for the children of Liberty, is woefully short of volunteers so far.  We have only about a fourth of the number we need.  This ministry was begun five years ago as a partnership among LISD [Liberty ISD], Texas AgriLife, and the churches, and we've had good participation in the past from most of the congregations.  We had the kickoff meeting on Monday, and had a very small turnout.

Thanks for your help with Hungerbusters.  We served over 47,000 meals last summer.  That's a lot of hungry kids!

Contact: The Rev. Glennda Hardin, Deacon, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Liberty (936) 334-2859 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Considering our longstanding participation with this program, please continue to volunteer your time this summer to this worthy cause."

 P.S.  It is my pleasure to tell my church family that DeeAnn and I will be with you for a third year.

We are so excited about camp this year!  We have 8 first-time elementary campers going to Lakeview, 4 counselors, and 5 senior high campers.  Our youth campers will be meeting at 6:30 a.m. on Monday, June 24 to leave for Palestine.  Do not be late or you will miss the bus!

The date and theme has been set for this summer's VBS.  This fun week will begin July 15-19 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and our theme is "Everywhere Fun Fair: Where God's World Comes Together."  We will meet Sunday, July 7 at 2:00 p.m. in the fellowship to begin decorating.  If you are unable to help that day there will be other opportunities during the week to help out!  Please contact DeeAnn Smith for more information.
