| CELEBRATE DIFFERENCES |
|
|
By God's design, men and women are very different. As couples, we can use our differences to complement and serve each other, or they can be used to drive us apart. We feel it is crucial for couples to seek to understand and accept each other's differences. We want you to...Celebrate Differences.
Sunday, June 29th and Sunday, July 6th at 9:15 am in room 102.
Led by Jim+ and Christine Liberatore

| ALTER FLOWERS |
|
|
Ever find yourself gazing at the lovely altar flowers on Sunday? We do too! We love to have fresh flowers to decorate the sanctuary with, that honor loved ones in our lives. To help keep those gorgeous fresh flowers, we need your help! How you ask? Simply sign up for a Sunday to donate flowers on the bulletin board located in foyer of the church. Fill out a yellow envelope located in the pocket of the bulletin board, and drop it in the offering plate or deliver it to the church office. Just a friendly reminder of another way you can serve and keep our sanctuary beautiful on Sunday! |

| RECYCLING |
|
|
Cans - Every time you are ready to throw out that soda or other beverage can, remind yourself that you are throwing away money that could have gone to the Work Campers. Every aluminum can counts. You may drop off your collection in the old kitchen. We are collecting all the way through July. So please
Ink Cartridges - Reduce pollution, and raise funds. Most of us have inkjet printers at home or work. When you have an empty cartridge next time, do not throw it away-just bring it to St. Andrew's. We have a special recycle box in the Foyer of the Family Life Center. St. Andrew's is paid up to $4.00 for each cartridge. |

| PULL TAB PROGRAM |
|
What is the Pull Tab Program?
The Ronald McDonald House of Houston has been involved with the pull tab program for six years now! This recycling program is a fun and easy way for St. Andrew's to become involved with RMH. The Pull Tab Program brings in an average of $8,000 a year to RMH!!
Pull tabs DO NOT support medical treatment of any kind; however, pull tabs DO support the operations of the Ronald McDonald House of Houston. This includes purchasing food for the family food pantry, cleaning supplies, and providing van transportation for the families to and from the Texas Medical Center.
Although a simple pull tab may appear to be insignificant, it is in fact the most valuable part of the can. Unlike the rest of the can, the tab is pure aluminum and therefore generates the most money from recycling.
So, when you recycle your can for our Workcampers (you are recycling, right?) save the tab for RMH. A milk jug is in the office for this purpose. You can drop them in the offering as well. |
