Wishing Well
For the next several months, the Wishing Well will be collecting much-needed supplies for our own Apostles Assistance Fund. Pastor Kuhn has been getting many requests from people for personal care and home care supplies, such as toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, dish detergent, laundry detergent, and other similar items. In early August, there will be a poster hanging in the Narthex on the Outreach bulletin board and another one above the Wishing Well with ideas for needed supplies. Please take a note paper and donate that item to the Apostles Assistance Fund through the Wishing Well ministry. We will collect up until our holiday ministry starts in November. Thank you so much for your continued generous support of our Outreach ministries. If you have any questions, please see Jane McCartney.

Youth Fundraiser Part II: Visit The Wood Lot
The trip to The Wood Lot on June 11—the fundraiser for our youth—was a huge, fun success. However, there was a list of those who could not attend that date. The youth do not want to disappoint anyone, so a second open house and tour is scheduled for Saturday, July 9th from 1 pm-3 pm. This time, private vehicles are the way to go. Refreshments will be served again—especially the kids’ homemade cookies!
If you have not signed up, or don’t have directions, contact Andy Appel. If this date still doesn’t work for you, tell Andy and he’ll try to accommodate.
All proceeds are for the youth group’s trip this July. We appreciate your generosity!
