A Change this Year with VBS. I proposed to the Parish Ministry Council a change this year concerning Vacation Bible School. What I propose is that instead of VBS, we have a series of four Sunday evening Family Nights. Starting with a cookout supper, we will have outdoor games, a lesson with a little craft, and perhaps an outdoor movie. We will be inviting the same families as we invite to VBS.

Citizens of the Year. In May, we learned that Bob Klabunde has been named North Olmsted’s Citizen of the Year. That seems very well deserved. Bob has been involved as a volunteer with North Olmsted for many years. Most recently he has been very active as a leader at the Senior Citizen Center. For many years Bob has been the president of the Lutheran Cemetery Association. Here at church, Bob’s contributions have been many including, most recently, chairing our constitution committee and encouraging overseeing our contributions to the Lutheran Church Extension Fund, our church’s savings and loan.

Earlier this year, Sandy Graham was named Olmsted Falls’ Citizen of the Year. Again, this seems very well deserved. Sandy has been active in Parent-Teacher associations and other activities with children. Here at Ascension, Sandy has taught VBS and with our Children’s Library. It is a delight to see Sandy take on various characters with full costume to read stories to the children of the ECC.

Congratulations to you both, Bob and Sandy!
