is once again sponsoring a David Rice Annual Summer Picnic at the Ohio Guidestone’s outdoor camp, 24567 West Rd. Berea, OH, on July 10th, at 12pm. We need bakers to make cookies and brownies, cooks to grill hamburgers and corn, and guides to coordinate outdoor activities such as kickball, crafts, corn hole, and hiking along the river. Please help create a special day for these kids to enjoy the outdoors and home cooking. Let’s spread the love of Christ to our young neighbors. Sign up on the bulletin board outside of the sanctuary.

DONUTS AND COFFEE HOUR:
Please consider hosting donuts and coffee before 9:30am worship and/or after worship coffee hour. Fellowship is an important part of the life of the church and why not have food as well! Sign-up sheet is posted on the chapel hallway bulletin board.
TAKE-WHAT-YOU-NEED CABINET!
We’re asking for help in shopping for the cabinet! We have a small crew of people who take turns shopping for the cabinet every so often, and we’d love to have your help! We have a cabinet fund, and you do not have to spend your own money, unless you’re donating items. We have a list of item suggestions available, and if you’re interested, please call the office. Please make sure to turn in your receipts to the office to be reimbursed! Thank you.
