BAGGED LUNCH SALE (NO PEACH FESTIVAL)
Because so many of our local farmers lost their peach crops to the late frost this year, we have canceled the Peach Festival.
However, we will sell Bagged Lunches on Saturday, August 15th. You can pick up a meatball sandwich, a bag of chips, and homemade cookies for $8 per lunch. Orders must be placed by August 9th. Order forms are available Today at church or by calling Mildred Herman at 609-970-7024. We would really like to sell a lot of meals that day (to make up for the loss of the Peach Festival), so please spread the word. Proceeds will benefit the church.
MUSIC MINISTRY PICNIC
Everyone involved in the church’s Music Ministry (choir, band, and chime choir, as well as family members) is invited to a covered-dish picnic at the home of Mildred Herman (49 Pintail Drive, Glassboro) on Sunday, August 23rd. We plan to eat around 5:00 p.m. Meats will be provided; you are welcome to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert. Please sign up with Mildred.
A Family Night planning meeting will be held in the Fellowship Hall conference room immediately after the 10:00 service on August 23. Please join us. We are seeking fresh ideas for Family Night fun. If you can’t make it but have ideas, please call Lyn Zanow at 856-304-1196.
Greeters/Ushers Needed!
Serving as a greeter or usher is a wonderful way to welcome others, build connections, and support our church community. If you’re willing to serve in the coming weeks, please sign up at the entryway. You can volunteer for one week or multiple weeks. Join us in sharing God’s love through hospitality!
