Or, would you be interested in leading a study or discussion group?
Or, do you have skill in technology to help post classes or studies online?

We appreciate whatever gift you have to offer, and we invite you to join us on the second Wed. of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the church office.

Our next meeting will be on August 11. If you have questions, please call Joy at 856-981-9933. Or, you may email the committee anytime at emmchristianed@gmail.com with any suggestions or comments.

Barb's Medical Minute

Whether it is to a beach or a park, a lot of us take coolers with us for food or drink. To be safe here are a few tips:

Remember that cold air sinks, so put the ice or the ice packs on top.
Like your freezer, the fuller it is packed, the colder it will stay.
Try to put cold items in the cooler, so plan on what you are taking the night before and refrigerate it.
It is also a good idea to keep a separate cooler for drinks, since that is opened more frequently than the one for food.
Try not to leave it in a hot trunk for long, and when you get to your destination stash your cooler in a shady spot if possible.
