to all, Kathryn Warren
Help Wanted - Treasurer
Stan Ovens is
retiring after 22+ years in the position. We greatly need someone to “learn the
ropes” and take on this responsibility on July 1, 2013. This is an un-paid
position and is open to a church member in good standing. In the hope that
additional information will help inspire someone to step up and try this
important position in the church, here's a listing of the duties of the
treasurer:
1. Sign checks as
needed (payroll and regular monthly bills will be handled online).
2. Review and
sign all paperwork submitted by the bookkeeper.
3. Return signed
paperwork submitted by the bookkeeper.
4. Present
monthly reports to Trustees.
We have hired Jan
Hafner as our bookkeeper. Her duties include:
1. Prepare
payroll.
2. Accounts
payable (including all required tax forms).
3. Monthly bank
reconciliation.
4. Provide
paperwork to Treasurer for signature.
5. Keep filing
up-to-date.
Please
prayerfully consider how you might be able to help the Church. Let a Trustee
know if your heart has been touched to take on this position.
Church Historian
Do you love history?
Do you enjoy preserving the bits and pieces of history so they aren't forgotten
or lost? If so, then we have an opportunity for you! Richard Johnson is looking
for someone to help out/take over the position. There are pictures, newspaper
articles and albums that need to be cared for. If you are interested call the
church office at 536-9821.
Lost & Found
A small key was
found among some pennies that were donated. It can be claimed at the church
office.
Make a Note of This
There will NOT be a church supper on May 20
or 27th. We will plan to see you again on Monday, June 3rd.
Mission
Nugget:
Church World Service Blanket Sunday: WHAT
DIFFERENCE DOES A BLANKET MAKE?
- Being
alone and wishing for security: Blanket,
you are our comforter.
- Living
hard, No home of our own: Blanket,
you are our carpet, our towel, our tablecloth, and our cushion.
- Aching
with fear and cold: Blanket,
you are our warmth, our coat, our cover.
- Needing
privacy: Blanket, you are our
wall, our curtain, our shade.
- Knowing
I can only take what I can carry: Blanket, you are my carrier, my travel companion, my helper.
- Evening
time, black night settles on my shoulders: Blanket, you are out shelter, our safety
- ...Blanket, you are our lifeline: To the
Lord and the people whose love you send.
Thank You from Your Board
of Missions
Last Sunday you gave
$72 for Blankets – almost enough for 16 blankets; and $200 for One Great Hour
of Sharing. The $191.85 for the Backpack Pennies gives us a total of $275.32.
You also gave $525 towards our Treasury Budget.

Luminary Sundays
On May 19th and 26th following the
worship service I will be selling luminaries in the Great Room for the Relay
for Life. They cost $5 each and are made out in honor or in memory of someone
you know whose life has been touched by cancer. These luminary bags are lit and
are placed along the track where they remain throughout the night, lighting the
way to a cure. Your support truly makes a difference and is greatly
appreciated. Thank you – Pam Scutt and The Footprints Team.
Office for the Aging
In 2012 we served
27,483 meals to 158 people. Pro Action of Yates County
cannot serve our customers without the help of our volunteers. You are the
Heart and Soul of our program, providing so much more than a meal. Volunteers
provide the warm, human contact our seniors need and may be the only contact
that senior has that day. Whether you have a few hours one day a week, can
volunteer every day, or can only work a few hours a month, your assistance is
needed. Criminal background and driver's license check is required. Mileage is
paid. Call Stephanie Bates at 536-5515 for more information.
