Looking Ahead
Our Priest in Charge, The Rev. Jane Arrington Bender, is away from today (July 28th) through August 8th. Mo. Laura will be covering for her and will be available for any Pastoral needs. Please see Connie Allport for any other needs.
Some updates for our next fundraiser, the basket social. We really need to get working on this, so this year can be even more successful. If you haven’t done so already, please indicate what you would like to help with by logging in to: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080e4eada92babfe3-basket
Next, I am enclosing a flyer for the social which I am asking you to make copies and distribute where you are able. We will have a team of volunteers tacking these up approximately one month before the event at local supermarkets. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_Ae_IB-wIYHBcZzQMTNzrZgu7cnIdEkl86e0x_n3SAs/edit
Right now, our greatest need is getting volunteers to solicit local businesses for donations of baskets and/or gift cards. Please, consider asking businesses you frequent if they would like to donate something. Perhaps your hairdresser, butcher, farmers market, gym or even doctor etc. would be willing to help out.
If you have any questions, please let me know, and thanks in advance for all your help.
