Week of June 18, 2017
Food Bank
Needs: Specifically—cold cereal, rice or rice helpers, pasta, crackers, dry soup, and canned items, including soups, fruits, beans, baked beans, tomatoes, and tuna.
Market Basket
During the first three Sundays of each month, you have the opportunity to buy grocery cards in the office after service. You can buy cards for the following month and pick up the ones you ordered last month. Remember, the discount we earn from purchasing cards in bulk from Giant, Stauffers, and Weis provide food for the Saturday Breakfast downtown once a month. Helping others is easy, as well as a wonderful thing!
Wishing Well
The Sundays in June will be Undies Sundays! Please consider participating in this ministry to help Martin Elementary School students by donating underwear for boys and girls ages 4 to 12. We are collecting these Undies in the Wishing Well. We have another fun collection for July, so stay tuned! Thank you for supporting Undies Sundays!
Wacky Wednesdays
Wacky Wednesdays will be held this year from 10-11:30 am on Wednesdays from June 28-August 2 in Rader Park. Please visit the Welcome Center for a detailed flyer.
Vacation Bible School
VBS begins today and will continue through June 22 from 6:30-8:30 pm in Rader Park.
Garden
Come visit the garden and see all the things growing! We have times for anyone to help throughout the week – Tuesdays at 9 am, Fridays at 7 pm, and Sundays after the 9:15 service. You don’t need to sign up. There are picnic tables in the garden so you can even bring a picnic and enjoy watching the plants grow or the people working.
Meditation Walk
There are four gazebos in the park that may be used as stopping spots on a Meditation Walk in Rader Park. Each gazebo was recently power washed and a wood preservative applied. An area around each gazebo will be prepared for a special planting. What is needed now are four families or groups of friends who will plan a meditation and choose the plants that will go around the structure to make it inviting. Let the office know if you are interested, or call Carol Nielsen at 391-2815 if you have any questions.
Share the Bounty
If you have flowers or anything from your garden you wish to share, bring it to the card table just outside the Narthex. If you see something you would like, take it; and if you wish, you can make a donation in the small box on the table.
Apostles Community Preschool
Apostles Community Preschool is conducting interviews for an aide position for the 2017-18 school year. If you would like to be considered, please contact Linda Lewis at (717) 392-5598.
