Fighting Summer Hunger Challenge

 

We have been challenged to a friendly competition by some of our neighboring parishes to see who can raise the most food to assist hungry people in our area.  In the summer, donations to local food banks typically becomes sparse, as so many of us travel, and the needs of the food banks fall off our radar.  The Conover Churches (our sister parishes) have challenged us to this friendly competition, and we will see who can donate the most to the Food Bank in the the month of June.  It is a competition where there are no losers.  Everyone wins, especially our neighbors who are hungry!  To participate in the challenge, you can donate money through the parish office, or click here to donate directly through the website.  

 

Ladies' Luncheon Thursday, June 20th 

 

All are welcome to join us on Thursday, June 20th at noon for the Ladies Luncheon at the home of Sue  Catlett, 20 Tanners Brook Road, Chester.  Please bring a sandwich; beverages and dessert will be provided.  Please RSVP to Sue at 908 955-7109.  We hope to see you there.

Parish Hall at 11:15 am.  Please bring a salad, side dish, or dessert to share.  Hamburgers, hot dogs, and beverages will be provided.  

 

One Worship Service at 10 am on Sunday, June 23rd

Tend the Garden

 

Stop by to tidy up the Memorial Garden and surround every Thursday at 4:30 pm.   Giving a little of your time by sweeping, weeding, and such will help to keep this lovely area at its best.  Refreshments provided.  Community Service hours will be given.

 

Lemonade Hour

 

Beginning Sunday, June 30th there will be a Lemonade Hour, immediately following the 9:30 am service.  Hosts are needed.  It's easy; all you need to bring is a small treat as the lemonade is provided by the church.  A sign-up sheet is located on the bulletin board outside of Parish Hall.  Weather permitting, Lemonade Hour will take place outside in the front courtyard.
