Fourth of July Ice Cream Social

A big thank you to all who helped in any way to make the Ice Cream Social a success, even with the weather not cooperating. Whether you helped set-up, contributed flowers, loaned card tables, scooped ice cream, cut watermelon, put up tents, moved tables and chairs, greeted guests, served ice cream and cold drinks, prayed, or helped take everything down, cleaned up and stored away, or made a financial contribution, it could not have happened without you. THANK YOU!

  

RUMMAGE SALE

You can begin dropping off items for the Rummage Sale in the Senior High Room (next to the priest’s office) Sunday, July 8, and continuing during times the church is open until the 19th. Please donate clean, wearable adult and kids’ clothes, toys, furniture, tools, books, dishes, antiques, knickknacks, outdoor/camping gear, etc. The proceeds from the sale will go to the Rectory Project, and we hope to make the sale an Outreach to the greater community. A prominent North Shore Episcopal church makes over a million dollars each year on their rummage sale, so we have a high standard to meet. We’ll have volunteer sign-up sheets on Sunday, July 8, after everyone has a chance to rest from the Ice Cream Social.
