This year the VBS staff has a great time planned for
the children, but we can always use more help. We have a need for some donated
items for the Marketplace. Check out the list below and see how you may be able
to help. What a great way to serve others!
Beads, tassels,
bracelets, earrings, necklaces, small jingle bells and small seashells that may
be drilled and made into necklaces
Artificial plants and flowers for lend.
Old colored striped sheets that can be
made into robes by Jean Brewer.
We can’t do any of this without our
teachers!
If you
should have any of these items (check out yard sales) they may be left with
Barbara Burke 536-7020 or Suzy Willson 585-526-1004. Thank you, we know how
pressed everyone is for time these days so we do appreciate all that you can do
for VBS!
Worship
Committee
We are
seeking people who might be interested in helping plan and orchestrate our
Sunday morning worship services. How many times have you had an idea or
suggestion for a sermon topic or for a song
that would have tied
in perfectly with the message Pastor Tharp presented that morning? Maybe you’re
interested in drama and would enjoy seeing a skit once in a while. Perhaps you
are a great organizer and love to plan or you would like to take part in PR to
promote upcoming special worship events to reach out and bring in some of the
unchurched in our community. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. So
we’re asking you to prayerfully think about the gifts God has given you and
consider being a part of our Worship Committee. If you’re interested, or would
like more information, please contact Pastor Tharp, George Jensen, or Pam
Scutt.
