ANNOUNCEMENTS

PW School Supply Offering: The Presbyterian Women will continue its mission to support the students and teachers of Alice Birney Elementary School, our neighborhood school.  Each year at this time we shop for requested school supplies while they are on sale. These supplies are distributed in January when students have consumed, broken, lost, etc. their supplies from the beginning of school. If you are interested in supporting this mission,  there will be a special offering collected on August 18th and 25th for the purchase of these supplies.  Please indicate “School Supplies” on your donation.  We appreciate your support!

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AND FELLOWSHIP: Please check your bulletin for questions and suggestions for CE and fellowship opportunities. Adult Sunday school will start next month. You can order your book through the church or Amazon. (roughly $18 or see if you can find one used for cheaper) We also recognize that everyone’s schedule is different, but we want to have fellowship outside of Sunday service. Let us know your ideas! Especially if there is something you want to lead. Email Briana at johncalvinadmi@gmail.com

MONTHLY FOOD PANTRY DONATION: Each month we are asking you to donate one or two items to the food pantry. This month we are asking for shelf-stable breakfast items and canned meat goods. Please see the flyer on the bulletin board in the narthex.

DEACON UPDATE:  If you are in need of prayer and/or any pastoral care, please contact one of our deacons. Names and information are located at the back of the bulletin under staff.

TEACHER COMMISSION SERVICE: Sept. 15th, we will be having our teacher commissioning service for playschool and bible study teachers. There will be a Gameday picnic/potluck after service. Little Farms and surrounding Presbyterian churches have been invited. More information will come next week! 

HANDBELLS: Kelly is looking for volunteers to play handbells on September 8th, with a rehearsal after the service on September 1 (Labor Day weekend). Let her know if you’d like to participate by August 25th
