You can do this by helping provide a meal/meals to one of your sisters who may have just had a baby, or been hospitalized, or have had surgery, or a death in their family. You will never be asked to do this alone. We will co-ordinate you to work with one or two other people. Any questions? Fell free to call Judy Garris @ 764 - 6153 or Roxanne Kahle @ 226 - 5036.

It takes a Village!! Do you know what talent or business or employment each member of your church is involved in? A bulletin board will be created with church families' business information at the end of February. I encourage each of you to provide a business card or any relevant business information. This also could include babysitting information or other service items as well.
Without the knowledge of what each other does, we are not able to have the opportunity to support one another through this realm.
Please place any relevant information in Tracy Miller's mailbox or e-mail it to tmhm72@yahoo.com . If you have questions about this request, please feel free to contact Tracy.
A Calling for Ministry - Jenna & Maya Miller would like to send items to Support their Uncle & others overseas risking their lives for us.
If you have a loved one you would like to be included in receiving these items, please see Tracy Miller or contact her @ tmhm72@yahoo.com. Please place all items in the identified box in the Narthex by the Welcome table.
Items encouraged are: Bibles, books, DVD's, snack items, puzzle books, games, cards, "Nerf balls", & other small items. Money is also appreciated to offset the cost of mailing these items; please place money in Tracy Miller's church mailbox.
Thank you in advance for not only supporting the military, but also Jenna & Maya in their attempt to serve.
Update:  Our THIRD package was just sent to the troops! The third box went out to Roxanne's nephew. Thank you to our generous congregation for the donations toward this mission. I am on the lookout for another person. Please contact me with any names and addresses of someone in need!
A special thanks to Mary Reed for having her class make Easter cards to send to the troops.
Social Committee...
The Social Committee is looking for people to help with funeral dinners. There have been 3 team leaders chosen & we are looking for people to be part of a team. If you feel a calling in this area & have your mornings or afternoons available, please sign up in the Narthex to be put on a team. Questions can be directed to Debbie Martin @ 226 - 5735. We have 2 sign-up sheets in the Welcome Center for those wishing to help w/Funeral Dinners. 1 list is for helping with the dinners & a second list is for funeral dinner cake baking.
Are you creative? Use your gift by designing a bulletin board for a holiday in 2011 or for a Christian theme to encourage our church. Some materials will be provided through the church office or other resources. Contact Jacqueline Morrone @ 226 - 4035.
