Below are the announcements given on 8/4/2024. Please refer to your directory for contact information.
Need additional treats after fellowship time
Could you provide some treats for the fellowship time after worship? We’d love to have a variety of items! In addition to sweeter treats, you can bring:
• Fruit
• Vegetables
• Cheese
• Crackers
There’s a sign-up sheet in the parlor.
Future Altar Flowers Needed
Do you have extra flowers in your garden? Is there a special person in your life
that you’d like to celebrate or memorialize (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.)?
We’d love to have you sign up for providing flowers on our altar table up front.
There’s a large poster on the wall just outside the church office where you can
choose your date. Please, no fragrant flowers.
Thanks for your help! Questions? Contact Roxanne or Cyndee.
We need help with outdoor care!
We could use help with jobs outside at church during July!
Pick up sticks on the lawn (so Jeff can do weekly mowing).
Pull back playground chips from fence board (a rake works well with this. Chips
need to be about 4 inches below fence board, so chips don’t fall out over the
fence board).
Weed and prune (there is always cool shade somewhere to work in on hot days).
Sweep or blow walks and parking lot.
Let us know how you can help by contacting Jeff and Sharon K.
