Mid-Year Giving Statements 
On June 28, the mid-year giving statements were sent out. Please consider having your statement emailed to you rather then US postal mail.

Do You Have Some Time to Donate to Your Church?
We have come up with a list of several repairs/improvements that we feel can be completed by our members. Some of them require experience, but many just require a good attitude and your time. They range from pulling weeds to power washing the
walk and benches in the memorial garden. There are two lists posted on the bulletin board outside the church office. One lists items needed for the manse renovation and the other lists items for the annex, the sanctuary building, and the landscaping.
We're not looking to create a buildings and grounds committee. We simply want some
volunteers to come out and work on your own schedule for as much time as you have
to donate. The church owns much of the equipment needed (a power washer for
instance). Please contact Nancy Stout (318-436-9865 -cell) or [email protected]
for more information.

SUMMER OFFICE HOURS
During the months of July and August the church office will be closing at noon on Fridays. Please have all bulletin information in by Thursday mornings.

The picnic will once again be held at Riverfront Park, Point Pleasant Boro, on August 26 from 10:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m.
Worship with Communion begins at 10:00 a.m. followed by the picnic under the Pavilion. There will be food and games (including the playground). Attached to the Maxson Avenue Municipal Beach, this facility has a beach area that can be used for fishing or crabbing.
We ask that you sign up to bring either an Appetizer, Salad or Dessert. You can email Kerry at [email protected] and let her know how many and what you will bring or look for the yellow sign up sheet in the Narthex.
As in years past, we will make every effort to reach our goal of 100 people to sign up.

How Can you help?
Bins are in the Narthex for anyone who wishes to make donations of drinks and individually wrapped snacks for the week. Donations have been slowly coming and we are very appreciative.
In addition, if you know of any teens that are great with kids and willing to help especially in the area of song motions, we would love to have them join us. Service hours for the week can be given out. Teens are asked to call the church office if they can help that week.

Karen Norby's Trip to Uguanda
Thank you to everyone who supported Karen Norby's trip to Uganda with instruments, donations and prayers. It was a successful trip. Karen taught origami to the different classes in the orphanage.
