August 26

We look ahead to another opportunity to serve our local community.  The 13th annual Jubilee Reach Service Day is coming up on August 26th.  It is an opportunity for those of us in a church to assist a school and its teachers in preparing their classrooms for the upcoming year.  We have partnered with Puesta del Sol, the Spanish language school that sits just behind Tyee Middle School.  In other words, it's our neighbor just down the street.  We can choose whether we work in the morning (8:00am-12:00pm) or afternoon (1:00-5:00pm) or both.  Our tasks will be to assist teachers in their classrooms.  Volunteers will be asked to decorate classrooms, organize supplies, create bulletin boards, get desks ready, sort curriculum sheets, and anything else needed by the teacher.  There are no age restrictions, easy access for everyone, and it will be fun and fulfilling.  It's a great opportunity to be in service with a neighbor.  Please sign up!

At the July dinner we fed 63 people including about 15 children.  The numbers have been generally increasing but this is the most we have served for some time.  We gave away all the food we brought except a few cookies and a little milk.  Thank you to all who donated food and served.  Know that your generosity was very much appreciated by those we served.  If you are interested in helping with the Crossroads Dinner program, contact Dave Maybee or Melinda Lilley.
