PARISH WORK DAY
THIS SUNDAY
Tomorrow, August 8th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., will be our second work day of the summer. We will be harvesting and working in the garden, painting, cleaning, moving things and sprucing up the church. As before, we will also have food and music and a bilingual service. Come in work clothes and with a will to help out. See you then.
A CALL FOR VOLUNTEER HELP
WITH CHILDREN’S CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
We began a new season of the church year with Pentecost on Sunday, May 23rd. At that time, we started a new cycle of Godly Play exercises and Sunday School workshops.
Please consider volunteering to lead a class. The lessons are creative, flexible and very adaptive to your own strengths and comfort zones. Volunteers may preview the lessons well ahead of the Sunday on which you are volunteering, to ensure maximum familiarity with the theme of the session. Volunteers are welcome and needed for all three age groups: pre and kindergarten; elementary; and middle through high school.
If you have questions or convictions, please contact Cameron.
