COUNCIL PRESIDENT UPDATE We give thanks to God that we are back to a full liturgical service offering communion the first and third Sunday each month and using the Service of the Word on the non-communion Sundays. Sign up sheets for assisting with Worship for greeters, communion assistants, lectors and Cookies are in the narthex. We will continue to record the Worship Services and be available on-line for those unable to attend the service in person. Offering will continue to be collected in the offering plate located at the back of the sanctuary. Other activities and ministries are also getting back to a normal routine schedule and I thank each of you for your willingness to serve and do the work you express as part of your faith. It has been brought to my attention that we could use a volunteer to occasionally pick up trash in the large parking lot across the street. This would help keep our property looking good and make it easier for our volunteer mowers. If you can help with this, or know of someone who would be willing to do this, it would be greatly appreciated. Because of the extreme heat and lower attendance the last Sunday in June, we were unable to hold the congregational meeting. The council will be setting a new date for that meeting and will announce the new meeting date when it becomes available. We give thanks to God and rejoice that we have come through this together and can carefully continue to move forward together. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to Pastor or one of the Council members. SOCIAL MINISTRIES/WELCA CONCERNS Throughout summer we will be gathering cash donations for school supplies. In a few weeks we will take our donation to Red Canoe who will match it. They will then purchase supplies and through the Link Program they will widely distribute school supplies to local children. If you would like to make a donation to these efforts please contact Noma Smyth or Carol Hoehne. If you make a donation through your offering please be sure to mark where you would like it to go. Thank you for your continued support. HYMN VOTING On August 15, we will be singing some of our favorite hymns. Please submit 3 hymns that you would like to sing asap so we can prepare for this day.
