Announcements for the week of June 6, 2010
June 4th, 2010 Posted in UncategorizedNew Member Class started this past Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., but it’s not too late to join us! This class is for anyone interested in knowing more about the Lutheran faith or would like a refresher.
Plan to join us for our Annual Congregational Picnic, next Sunday, June 13 following the worship service. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided, there is a sign up sheet in the chapel for salads and desserts. This will be the last day of Sunday School for the summer. Worship time will remain at 10:30 a.m. throughout the summer.
We are looking for volunteer bakers and/or servers for our Summer Coffee Fellowship. There is a sign up sheet on the upstairs kitchen refrigerator
Our special mission envelopes for May and June are designated for Papyrus Camp at Camp Pioneer. This is a special camp reserved for foster and inner city children. It is the opportunity of a life time for these special children, and may be the only opportunity they have to learn that Jesus loves them. It costs $390 to send one child to this camp for a week. If your prayers move you to help with this project, please place your mission envelope, or an envelope marked “Papyrus Camp”, in the offering plate. You can watch our progress on the bulletin board in the narthex.
TOILETRIES AND STUFFED CHARACTERS: We will continue to collect toiletry items and stuffed characters on the table in the narthex through the month of June. These items are needed by both Carolyn’s House and the Community Mission. Carolyn’s House provides housing and career training for homeless women and their children in Niagara Falls. Many of these individuals are escaping domestic violence situations and have no where else to go. Community Mission has recently experienced an increase in the homeless seeking their help. Your donations will help make this project a success!
Vacation Bible School will be held August 2-6. We’ll start with a simple supper at 5:30 p.m. and the VBS program from 6-8. There is a planning meeting scheduled after the worship service today. If you would like to help, but are unable to attend the meeting, please contact the church office or Randy Broeker.
More BOTTLES AND CANS please. Thanks so much for bringing to our recycle bins at parking lot door and narthex. The month of June our recycle profits will go to Kaitlyn Sorenson who will be attending the National Youth Gathering this July with youth from Holy Ghost, Bergholz and Trinity Lockport.
