Pledge Envelopes
The pledge envelopes are available in the narthex. Please sign that you have picked up your envelopes on the envelope receipt sheet. Write your envelope number in the blank after your signature to confirm you have collected the correct box.
These are based on those persons who had envelopes last year and/or requested them through their pledge cards.
IF:
- You had them last year, have been assigned them this year, but do NOT want them, please print “NO THANK YOU” on the signature line by your name.
- You did not request them via pledge card, but have decided you would like them, please contact Samantha in the office, preferably by email.
- You did request them, and your name is not on the list, please contact Samantha in the office, preferably by email.
Please do not just take a random box and write the number in the blank. We use this system to keep track of contributions and do not want crossed numbers.

Technological Difficulties
If you tried emailing the office last week, and received a bounced message or did not get a response, please resend your communication. However, through much problem solving, we are back up and running as normal. Please direct all communications to the emails listed at the bottom of this announcement.
Thank you very much for your patience!

AES is No Longer Collecting Newspaper
Thank you to all the parishioners who have faithfully donated newspaper in the past. The school has decided to provide service to the community in other ways and is no longer collecting the newspapers for CAPS. As we do not have recycling on campus (yet), we ask that you find a local recycling collection spot, if you do not have curbside for your newspaper.

Give the Gift of Sight
January is National Eye Month!
Constance O’Brien will be collecting eyeglasses, cases, sunglasses, frames, and lenses -- all things related to vision for donation and distribution in the US and around the world. The box for collection is locating in the narthex on the nametag table. She will take the collected materials on January 31 to the Lion’s Club. The box will become a fixture in the narthex for donations throughout the year.
But for now, let’s get that eyewear that’s been
hanging around the house and get it to the box!!

Outreach and Fill Box
Generosity booms over the holidays, but wanes in the months following. Don’t forget your WHAM non-perishable food donations, to join us for Lunch with Friends at the Mission of Yahweh, and at WHAM to assist in their pantry. The dates are listed on the church calendar and questions can always be directed to the office.

Sound Ministry
The sound ministry needs help! If you can operate a smart phone, you can operate the sound system. We need a minimum of three volunteers to help Kathleen, head of the sound ministry. Not sure if you can handle it, or if you'll like it. Talk to Kathleen, she can show you the ropes.
Give it a test run.

Don't forget the flowers!
Sign up to donate flowers each Sunday, by signing the flower chart, which is posted in the narthex, enter your dedication in the book below it, and place your donation in the alms basin or send it to the office, marked flower fund. (The cost is $100, which includes delivery.) All questions can be answered by Ann Burton (713) 782-6572.
