Spring Cleaning

In case you didn’t get your closets and garage cleaned out in time for the trailer to go to Utica last month – you have another chance. Pastor John will be going on a Men’s Clean up at Pathfinder Lodge and will make a stop in Utica for a drop off. Be sure to have your items to him/the church by Thursday, May 15.

 

All-Church Clean-Out Workday 

Saturday, May 17, 9am-noon

This is a great serving opportunity. Wear your work clothes and work gloves. Stay for an hour or the morning.

 

Planning Ahead

Next month’s newsletter will be a combination of June/July. All articles need to be in to the church office by May 20.

 

Ladies of the Church

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 31 at 8:30 a.m.  We will have our annual meeting with election and installation of officers. The meeting will be here at the church and simple breakfast will be served.

 

Undies Sunday Begins

Throughout the summer there will be a box in the sanctuary marked for Undies Sunday. Your donations of children’s underwear, sox, tee shirts etc can go into this box which will then be delivered to Cameron Center in Rochester. Today marks the starting date of this outreach event. When you go shopping, pick up a package or two. Your donation will go a long way to making a child feel a little better!

 

Parenting 101

The Basics of Becoming a Proactive Parent – this 4 week series will meet after services beginning June 1. Class time will be 35-45 minutes. See Eileen Modaffari for more information.

 

Reaching out to a Friend in Need

Rides are still needed from Geneva General Dialysis Center for Cheryl Wood. Cheryl has a ride to dialysis from the Office for the Aging bus, however she needs a ride home at 7:30 p.m. A volunteer has come forward for May 20; rides are still needed for May 27 & 29. Please call the church office if you can help.

 

Worship Committee

We are seeking people who might be interested in

helping plan and orchestrate our Sunday morning

worship services. How many times have you had an

idea or suggestion for a sermon topic or for a song

that would have tied in perfectly with the message Pastor Tharp presented that morning? Maybe you’re interested in drama and would enjoy seeing a skit once in a while. Perhaps you are a great organizer and love to plan or you would like to take part in PR to promote upcoming special worship events to reach out and bring in some of the unchurched in our community. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. So we’re asking you to prayerfully think about the gifts God has given you and consider being a part of our Worship Committee. If you’re interested, or would like more information, please contact Pastor Tharp, George Jensen, or Pam Scutt.

 

Thank you

To George Jensen for cleaning the carpets in the building.

 

We would like to remind you that the chapel is open for you to use for quiet mediation and prayer. There is a basket provided for prayer request.

 

 

 

Materials and help needed for the

Vacation Bible School – June 30 – July 3

 

“Ancient Jerusalem Marketplace”

 

This year the VBS staff has a great time planned for the children, but we can always use more help. We have a need for some donated items for the Marketplace. Check out the list below and see how you may be able to help. What a great way to serve others!

Jewelry Shop

Beads, tassels, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, small jingle bells and small seashells that may be drilled and made into necklaces.

Scenery

Artificial plants and flowers for lend.

Hebrew Robes

Old colored striped sheets that can be made into robes by Jean Brewer.

Teachers

We can’t do any of this without our teachers!

 

If you should have any of these items (check out yard sales) they may be left with Barbara Burke 536-7020 or Suzy Willson 585-526-1004. Thank you, we know how pressed everyone is for time these days so we do appreciate all that you can do for VBS!
