Beacon House

Next Sunday is Beacon House Sunday. The ten top items needed by Beacon House for the month of June are: tea, sugar, canned vegetables, ravioli, stew, baby food (fruit), spaghetti, juice, (large cans), condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish), and diapers.

We will be putting on a gigantic yard sale next Saturday, June 19^th from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon. This event will go on rain or shine (outside in the parking lot if the weather cooperates, inside in the gymnasium if it doesn’t). Hundreds of items will be up for grabs so make plans to attend so that you can pick up those hard to find collectors items. Remember: one person’s junk is another person’s treasure!

 Please Note: All proceeds from the Yard Sale will go towards subsidizing the cost of our Church Family Retreat to be held from September 10-12 in the fall. The cost of the family camp will be more this year because the facilities are better and all the meals are prepared for us. We have determined that the cost (subsidized) will be $60.00 for each adult and $30.00 for each child 6-18. Children 5 and under are free. Saturday only with 2 meals is $30.00.

Phoenix House Needs Our Help. 

The Missions Committee would like to bring to our church's attention the need from Phoenix House. Phoenix House provides at least 10 different programs for at risk and homeless youth. They have a list of ways people can help. One is volunteering and another is providing non-perishable food stuffs. If you feel called to be a volunteer you may contact Mission Committee members for the varied ways of helping. We are also planning to have a food donation twice a year. This time we are collecting peanut butter. A  Phoenix House  donation bin will be placed in the foyer on June 20. A small donation of peanut butter will go a long way in supporting this local community project.

Bed & Chair Available

For anyone interested, 1 hospital bed and 1 wheel chair are available at no cost and the donator will deliver.  Call Jerry at 865-6139.

Food For Thought

"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy."

  - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
