Come join the Handbell Choirs for some great food and beautiful music! Janie will be making her World Famous Fried Chicken for dinner that night
(our last Wednesday night supper for the school year!) Come have dinner

Getting ready to your old backpack to celebrate the end of the school year?
STOP!
If your gently used backpack (school-aged children to adults) is still in decent shape (no holes, broken zippers, etc.), consider donating it to our homeless neighbors at the Urban Ministry Center! They use backpacks to carry their scant belongings with them as well as for pillows, back support and to shield themselves from adverse weather. Please consider dropping off any backpack still in good working order between now and June 18. There will be a donation bin at the main entrance for any backpacks you bring. Thank you so much for your generosity!
