SUMMER BRING AND SHARE (LOAVES & FISHES) — After the Sunday Service
Every Sunday through June, July & August following the 10:30 AM service!
Bring any cold food item to share — fresh fruit, muffins, cookies, cheese & crackers, pastries, etc. Juice, coffee, and tea provided. Everyone who enjoys the meal is asked to help bring something, help set up, or help clean up. When everyone brings a little, something wonderful happens!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED — THIS SUNDAY AT NOON
Great news — our old Toshiba copier is being picked up for recycling by SCRI on Monday, June 29th between 9:00 and 11:00 AM!
Before that can happen, we need 3 strong volunteers this Sunday right after the church service (around noon) to help move the copier from Martina's office, down the stairs, through the parking lot, and inside our front double doors so it's ready for pickup. Please wear proper shoes and clothing for safety.
If you're able to help, please reply to this email or let Marcia know. Many hands make light work — thank you so much for your continued support of our church community!
Blessings,
Marcia
