Please send your thoughts by June 6 to Don Willhoit, co-chair of Building Maintenance at willhoit@bellsouth.net.

Lunch and Learn with The Reference Team

The Binkley Congregation is invited to join the Reference Team, including our consultant David Brubaker, for a time of congregational conversation on June 10 following the 11:00 service of worship.

This time of congregational conversation will conclude by 3:00 pm. More details regarding signup for lunch and childcare will be forthcoming.

Help for Rosa
Rosa, who is in sanctuary at Church of the Rec, has discovered a passion for jewelry making. Having a productive way to spend her time has lifted her spirits and also given her hope that she might soon be able to sell some of the pieces she has made to contribute to her children’s care. On June 3 and 10, Ashley Nissler will be in the narthex before and after church with a basket collecting beads for Rosa. If you have jewelry (primarily with beads) you no longer wear that she could take apart and make into something new (or even jewelry making you know you’ll never use again), it would be greatly appreciated. If you have questions, please contact Ashley Nissler at
ranissler@mindspring.com
