SOCIAL
ACTION COMMITTEE
AUGUST NEED-OF-THE-MONTH
This is the last week
to donate school supplies to IOCP's annual Back To School! Program. Please bring your donations to church by
Friday, August 21. Thank you for your
contributions!
Lost
and Found!
Did you ever participate in the Fall Bob's Sleep Out? And did you bring a tent to sleep in that
night? Because, someone's tent poles
were FOUND when the Sater's recently went camping. Now think back a couple of years (!) or check
your tenting bag for missing tent poles!
Contact Joe or Jackie at 478-9442.
A note
of precaution:
Since the H1N1
pandemic has been officially declared, we are taking a few precautions at worship. At Holy Communion, servers are taking care to
clean their hands with sanitizer. But if
you have added concerns, it is permissible to receive the wine only (served in
individual glasses).
For awhile we have set aside the 'Sharing
of the Peace' during the liturgy. And,
the Pastors will not be offended if you do not shake their hand after
worship. A kind nod and greeting is
quite acceptable. We pray that this
pandemic will not be severe and will pass quickly.
