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. 

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. Please feel free to invite your neighbors. Please see the sign up sheet, and let us know what you will bring or be willing to do during the event!

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

TABLE CLOTH DINNER:  We are having a Table Cloth Dinner on September 11th at Bistro Orleans at 6:30p. There is a signup sheet in the Narthex. Please see Beverly Kennedy for any questions.

GLASS HALF FULL:  You got glass? Let us have it. We are partnering with Glass Half Full to collect glass waste. This company can pick up from us, your business, and directly from your home! They help to convert it into sand and gravel for coastal restoration, disaster relief, new glass products and more! Make sure to remove any caps or corks and rinse off any food products. See flyer on Narthex Board for more info.
