TWO WEEKS REMAIN to donate to our mission project to benefit SUMMIT LIFE OUTREACH CENTER. We are accepting donations of new baby clothes, diapers, and baby toiletries to help stock Summit’s Parenting Shoppe. Clients of Summit can choose items from the Shoppe with credits they receive for participation in counseling and educational sessions. We also have BABY BOTTLE BANKS for your spare change if you would like to support their fundraising efforts. Bottle banks should be returned to the church office or to Alice Moll by Father’s Day, June 19.
JUNE MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support FOOD FOR THE POOR. Our former minister, Rev. Daniel Otto, was a longtime volunteer with this Christian ministry that serves some of the poorest people in our world. They provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, and emergency relief to countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. Their mission is to reflect God’s unconditional love for all people as they help to provide for their basic life needs. If you wish to support this mission, please use your June mission envelope or donate online under “Monthly Mission”.
