Join the Stewardship Team

The Stewardship Team is looking for one or more new members. The current team consists of Pastor Brett, Markus T, Becky W, Sally S and Kari S.

The stewardship team is responsible for planning and implementing our yearly Stewardship Campaign that is held in October. It culminates with EGS (Extravagant Generosity Sunday.) They also choose the ministry for the Change for Change Buckets twice a year.

It is a seasonal commitment for the stewardship campaign - usually July through October.

If you’re interested, their next meeting is tomorrow, Wednesday, July 12th at 7:30 pm. Contact any team member with questions.

Busy Bees

From Michele M:

I am interested in knowing if any creative men or women in our congregation would like to meet once a month to prepare for our Christmas donation to the homeless.  It can be knitted, crocheted, hooked, carved, or any creative idea you might have to assist a homeless man, woman or child.  If you have ever wanted to learn a craft hopefully we will have someone who can teach you. 

I'm hoping we can meet on a Wednesday or Thursday evening around 6:30 pm so our employed members would have the opportunity to join us.  Please contact Michele Milantoni at bzlady49@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Successful Yard Sale

Thanks to everyone who helped make last weekend’s yard sale a success!

Almost $1700 was raised but more importantly, we give thanks for the sense of community that the sale brought.

Every shopper received a flyer with our upcoming events, including the block party on July 9, worship at the lake on July 23, and the blessing of the animals on August 13. The remaining flyers will be on the entryway table this Sunday - grab a few for yourself and your friends and neighbors!

If you took home a sign for the yard sale, please return it. We will re-use them for the next sale.

Block Party

Let’s invite our neighbors to join us for worship under the tent on July 9! 

Afterward, there will be lawn games and lunch, featuring smoked brisket and chicken (thanks, Sandy!), from 11:30 am-1:30 pm. 

Please contact Kari S if you have any of the following: a cornhole set, volleyball net/ball, soccer goals/ball.

Watch for more details and to RSVP for lunch.

Big Fun at the Yard Sale

The Yard Sale is in progress! Everything you see above plus much more outside!

Don’t miss your opportunity to snag some great deals - today (Friday, June 16) until 8:00 pm, or tomorrow (Saturday, June 17) from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Big thanks to Rose D, Jane W, Michele M, and everyone else who helped set this up.
