- Our church secretary will be out of office on Sep 15 and 16; she will be in the office on Sep 17, 18, and 19.
- Can anyone use some Scentsy items? My daughter was a dealer and she discontinued that. So I have supplies. All kinds of things. Please see the table in the upper social room. There are instructions, a donation jar, and paper towels in case your hands get some wax on them. Please feel free to take boxes or bags under the table to take your items home with you. Checks can be made payable to me. Asking small prices for some really nice things. If you know of basket raffles, etc. that I can share baskets of this stuff, I will be happy to create baskets. Please let me know.
Other News
- We have a transport wheelchair that you may borrow from the church.
- We are still collecting printer or ink cartridges as well as pens and markers that have run out of ink to recycle at Staples.
- To date we have raised over $381 toward Staples purchases.
- There are still boxes outside my office for ink cartridges an pens and marker ONLY. Thanks! Keep them coming. You are an awesome support of this interesting way to recycle and get credit at Staples for future purchases. I can only take so many a month to get credit which is why you see them piling up! I will keep taking them as long as the program exists…so thanks again for your help.
- NOTE: Please do not bring batteries any more. There is now a charge for battery recycling.
As always, we hold in prayer many of our members and friends who are walking through difficult seasons—facing grief, illness, loneliness, changes in living situations, and other challenges that weigh heavily on the heart. We also remember our brothers and sisters around the world who continue to recover from the devastation of war, oppression, and natural disasters.
At the same time, we give thanks for the many joys among us—birthdays and anniversaries, the gift of new life, weddings, healing and remission from illness, and countless other blessings that remind us of God’s goodness.
Peace to all,
Lori Esslinger
