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!

New Beginnings
Join us for the first picnic of the season on Thursday, June 8 at 12 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Hot dogs, rolls, condiments, and drinks will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. A hymn sing will conclude the program.

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.

Church of the Apostles and Salem U.C.C. invite you to join us for Vacation Bible School 2017 on June 18-22 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Registration forms are located at the Welcome Center. Please return completed forms to the church office by June 12, or register online at www.apostlesucc.org.

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.
