Decorating begins Friday at 10 am in the hall. Snack sign-up for our VBS’rs is in the Narthex (snacks due to church by NEXT SUNDAY, the 19th). You can bring Sleds, white blankets, or batting to help us create a snowy scene.
Chick-fil-A Night is Tuesday, July 21st! Your order must be placed through the Chick-fil-A app. Any order (dine-in, drive-through, or carry-out) placed between 4:00 and 7:00 that night will count, and we’ll receive 15% back in cash in support of VBS. You can visit either the Mantua Square or Glassboro Chick-fil-A.
Prints for Sale: Art-quality prints of the watercolor painting of the church—given to Steve and Mildred for their retirement—are available for purchase. Each print will be hand-signed by local artist Linda Durbano, who is providing them at cost to support a small church fundraiser. Each print is $40, with $5 to $10 from each sale benefiting the church, depending on the number sold. A sample print is displayed in the church entryway. To order, please sign up and prepay through the collection plate, clearly marking your payment for the print sale. **Today is the last day for orders. ** For questions, contact Terry Klodnicki (TerryKlodnicki@gmail.com or 856-371-1181).
All Requests August: Share some of your favorite hymns with us, and we will tally the results to pick our Sunday morning hymns in August! See the insert in the bulletin.
5th Annual Carnival for a Cause: The carnival is set for Saturday, September 12, from 3:00 – 6:30 p.m. Note the time change from previous years. There will be food, games, entertainment, a Basket Auction, and a Dessert Auction!
Here are some things you can do now in preparation for the carnival:
~~ Donate a basket for our basket raffle. We could use creative themed baskets: “Night Out,” “Family Night,” “Sports,” “Spa.” If you know a business that can donate, please ask them! Big-ticket items (concerts, sporting events, restaurants) always go over well.
~~ Do you have an idea for a new game this year? Or donate small prizes.
~~ Mark your calendar now to help that day! Volunteers are needed for set up, tear down, ticket sales, food sales, dessert auction, and to run the games.
Our next meetings are on July 13th and August 17th at 6:45. If you plan to help with the carnival, please attend.
Proceeds from this year’s event will go to Family Promise, a wonderful organization that helps homeless families get back on their feet. Questions? Call/Text Carol Brozosky at 856-264-3672, or email CABrozosky11@gmail.com.

Kids Alley offers summer programs, an after-school learning center, and Saturday programs all designed to help at-risk kids in Camden. See www.KidsAlley.org for more information
