Heavenly Treasures Thrift and Gift Store is open today after all services. Come over and discover YOUR treasures -- we have fabulous designer clothes, shoes, and handbags for ridiculously low prices. You'll look so great that no one will ever know how little you spent. There's linen, silk, cashmere, wool, leather, designer shoes...the list just goes on and on. Not only do we have the best gently used items around, but we also have lots of brand new things! What other thrift store has new silk scarves and shawls from India, along with designer inspired sunglasses at rock bottom prices? These items are affordable and perfect for gifting, or perhaps just a little luxury for yourself. Come see us after services (we're just two doors north on Mendocino Avenue) and stretch your dollars until they scream!

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 22. Hopefully more people can make this new date! We need enough families to participate for this to work. 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.

Next Saturday, July 24 is our next "Odd Job Saturday Work Day." There are jobs we have started, and others that we need to get started on. We need to continue work on scraping and painting Heavenly Treasures Building. Scraping and painting the Iron Fencing is continuing. Gutters need cleaning, and we still have plenty of yard maintenance to do. Bring your own tools if you can, and we'll see you there from 8:00 AM until 12:00 noon.

Matthew Stedinger's Goodbye Party ~ Come one, come all to Matthew's Goodbye BBQ Potluck Party.

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 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!
