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.

Church Flower Beds
Help is needed to maintain the growing areas around our church building to ensure that we continue to look alive and growing as a congregation. Please contact Marty Holmes with your interest in caring for one of the areas.
