We Need Your
Pictures! In order to put together our pictorial
directory we need your photos depicting fun social events, parish life, worship
services, music, youth activities, outreach efforts, Numina, or St. Andrews in
the Redwoods. Basically anything church
related since 2008 (the more recent the better). Please email your photos to Linelle@sonic.net,
or drop the prints off at the Welcome Center (they will be returned to
you). Thank you for your help!
The Evening Women's Group will meet on
Tuesday, July 20 at 7 pm at the home of Marti Kennedy. All
women are welcome to join us. We are a
supportive group providing a place to share our lives and our spiritual
journeys with each other, building friendships as we go. If you have any
questions, please contact Donna Wiuff at (707) 837-8768.
CHANGE TO LAST DAY OF
PHOTOGRAPHY! We had to change
our last day of photography with Olan Mills to Thursday, July 22nd. Hopefully more people can make this new
date! We need at least 21 families, and
only 7 have signed up thus far. If you
haven't yet had your free photo session please call Amy Nykamp at 707-586-8916
or email family@nykamp.us.
Remember, everyone photographed gets a free 8x10 of their choice, and a free
directory.
To all those possibly interested in the EFM class that will begin this September, there are still three
slots open. For a good description of the EFM program, please check the
church's website (www.incarnation-sr.org). If you are still
interested or have questions, you can contact Patrick Lancaster at 707-483-3949. The deadline for enrollment is fast approaching, so again, if
you are interested, contact Patrick no later than July 18. Thank you.
Information for all of you who have Kaiser Health
Care: Do you know that for $5.00
and a visit to the Medical Secretaries office at Kaiser in Santa Rosa you
can buy a flash drive or memory stick for a computer which you can carry
with you (many people keep it on their key-ring) and contains all your
medical information? All they ask is that you sign an
authorization release, give them a 6-12 character password,
containing both letters and numbers, and pay the $5.00. They will then
transfer all your medical information to the "stick" right on the
spot and you are good to go. In the event of an emergency, anywhere in the
world, this flash drive can be inserted into a USB port in
a computer and viola-the EMT or emergency room staff or a doctor in
your son's hometown (where you may get sick while you are on vacation) has
access to all your medical information. You do not need to have a computer
yourself for this-just carry it with you at all times. The Medical Secretaries
office is located in the main hospital building, right across from the
elevators on the first floor. They are open Monday through Friday from
8:30 to 5 pm and close daily from 12:00 to 1:00 for lunch.
The Incarnation Cares Pastoral Care Team is
looking for someone interested in learning about and sharing current
information about prescription financial aid programs with members of our
congregation. It's hard to navigate through the multiple sources of aid
available to people who may have entered "the doughnut hole" or have inadequate
insurance coverage. If you have knowledge in this area, please contact Pastor
Gail (707-579-2604 ext. 103 or pastorgail@incarnation-sr.org) or Jan
Saucer (707-838-2899). Thank you!
Father Matt needs someone on
Sunday between 8 & 9 am to hang out in Farlander Hall. We have a
few folks who come by for coffee and cake before the Eucharist and a few
remain. There have never been any problems, you can drink coffee, eat
cake, visit with your friends or stay in the kitchen. A
responsible presence is needed. A commitment to one Sunday a
month would be desirable. Talk to Bob Gebhart, Barbara Avery or Carolyn Rausch
if you can help or call Claire in the Church Office. "In this life we cannot do
great things. We can only do small things with great love." -Mother Teresa
