Church Announcements

On the third Sunday of every month, Carmen Dorsey will provide Healing Touch Sessions in Pastor Ron’s office between the 9:30am and the 11:00am services.

It takes approximately five minutes.

THE OUTREACH COMMITTEE has a Birthday Box located in the small hallway near the Toddler Room. We all remember Jesus’ birthday on December 25th. Outreach would like to designate the 25th of each month, in honor of Jesus’ birthday, as a date for the Birthday Box.

If a few people would donate a gift for a child to the Birthday Box on or around the 25th of each month, that would be wonderful! We give these gifts to the Rescue Mission for underprivileged children. We would appreciate your help.

If you have any questions please call Jan Bush. Thank you.

THE JULY/AUGUST “COURIER” is available in the Narthex, the hallway outside the church office, as well as in the church Library. Eucharistic Ministers are encouraged to take a copy of the Courier to church members that they visit.

It is also available on our church website.

If you have not received your new Church Directory, you may pick it up in the church office weekdays from 9:00am – 2:00pm or on Sundays.

Please take one per family.

Our income was down in June and our disbursements were up. We had three major projects unexpectedly hit us during the last few weeks.

1.) The FCC sold the airwaves broadcasting megahertz rights we and other churches used for microphone amplification to big business for their use making our sanctuary mikes unlawful to use. We needed to purchase new wireless mikes for the pastors and others to be heard.

2.) Our well pump broke. We almost lost our lawn and flowers but due to prompt attention by our Custodian and Trustees we had to dig it up and replace it.

3.) We had a pipefitting burst at 1:30am, pouring water out of the third floor women’s restroom into hallway pouring down through the ceiling onto the main floor hallway outside of the Music Room and down into the New Basement, UMW storage closet.

Special thanks to John Stephanik’s early morning response and clean-up and to all who came the next day with wet and dry vacs to help. Any financial help you can give during these summer months will be greatly appreciated.
