a word from Greg Taylor

DRAMA TONIGHT FROM OKLAHOMA CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
A drama group from Oklahoma Christian University will perform in Phillips Hall, 7 pm tonight! Come for the Wednesday meal 5-7 pm and stay for this entertaining and thought-provoking group.

PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY'S WON BY ONE
In two weeks, June 24, 7 pm Phillips Hall we'll have "Won by One," a singing group from Pepperdine University.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Did you hear what Loy Johnson said Sunday? Ice Cream July 5. Cool, in more ways than one. Mike Hornsby told me a story about an ice cream social he attended at Garnett years back when he ate some of the best ice cream he'd ever eaten. Peach Ice Cream in a homemade ice cream freezer. Well, Mike went looking for the maker and found her. He didn't tell me who she is--wondering if she'll fess up after this email! (Most importantly, will she make this ice cream again . . . Please?) Below is the secret recipe for the best ice cream Mike ever ate.

She said, "I got my ice cream freezer ready." Check. Then she said, "I got a couple cans of peaches and opened them up and poured them in." Check. Then she told the secret. She said, "I went down to Braums and got a few pints of vanilla ice cream and mixed it in with the peaches and put the container down in the ice." Viola. "Homemade" ice cream, and the best, according to Mike Hornsby.

So if you can make "homemade" ice cream, bring it on. If not, bring Braums! OK, we need some of you good folks to help organize the tables, bowls, signs on the ice cream, sign people up, etc.

Who wants to help the Shepherds get this done? We need people with the gifts of Church Social Planning! And really, this kind of hospitality is a true gift and some of you work hard at it, so if you can help with organizing the Ice Cream Social July 5, please contact Janet Collins - jcollins@garnettchurch.org. This will be a good "warm up" to our Garnett 40th Anniversary Family Reunion August 28-29. Mark your calendars for that!

This Sunday, June 14, I'll be continuing the Jesus series with the first of several sermons on the "I am" sayings of Jesus in the Gospel of John. I'm looking forward to what we'll learn together about our Lord Jesus.

Loy Johnson will preach in my place Sunday, June 21. You won't want to miss Loy's unique and creative approach to pulling a lot of things together for us historically and in how the church ought to live our our mission in Christ today.
