JAVA CREW NEEDS YOU !
 Coffee hour is part of our hospitality ministry, and new members of the Java Crew are needed. A shift starts at 10:15 a.m. when the volunteers make extra coffee as needed, and then clean up the kitchen, finishing about 11:30 a.m. Volunteers work in pairs, and new people will be trained by an experienced Java Crew volunteer. The goal is for volunteers to only have to work one shift every other month, but we need more help to do it. To sign up, please send an email to Marlin Howard. Thank you! Ann LeDuc, Connections Coordinator |

Religious Education to Offer a Multi-Age Class this Fall
At 9:15 a.m., the RE program will be trying out a kindergarten-6th-grade class beginning on September 11. We are experimenting with this idea for several reasons:
1) parents have expressed interest in a multi-age class;
3) 3rd-6th attendance at 9:15 was sometimes low enough to be discouraging for volunteer teachers.
We encourage families who would like a multi-age experience for your children to consider the 9:15 service. If you prefer the traditional separation of grades, 11:15 will continue to offer that format. If you would like to know more or have questions or feedback, please contact Adrienne Summerlot or Reverend Emily Manvel Leite.
