This July 4th weekend the Lafayette, Indiana, brethren are sponsoring Melody of Music, a weekend of camping, Christian music and fellowship. A variety of music is being planned, including jazz, folk, rock, country, blues and much more. Some of the other activities include swimming, bike rides, a nature hunt, face painting, horseshoes, checkers and a fireworks display by the owner of the campgrounds.

The chef has been planning a nutritious menu with campers' health in mind, or campers can bring their own food. The Lafayette brethren want their guests to share this event for the 2 1/2 days with a minimum preparation time. Visitors can bring a tent, pop-up, RV or just camp underneath the stars.

A video promo is available on the Web site. Please register on the site at www.mom07.com; by telephone, (765) 404-6509; by fax, (765) 447-7051; or by mail, P.O. Box 5314, Lafayette, IN 47903.

All net proceeds from Melody of Music 2006 will go to LifeNets Developing Nations Scholarship Fund that helps more than 60 United Church of God youth and young adults attend university or finish high school.

Sabbath services on July 1 will be at 2 p.m. A detailed map to services in West Lafayette is located on the Web site www.ucg-lafayette.org.
