Food Needed - Especially Now!
Please continue to bring cans of food or other non-perishable items to
church each week. Even one item can make a difference to someone who doesn't
have enough to eat. Members of our own congregation are being helped by this
program. What is left over goes to Hopelink food bank in Kirkland. Just one
can makes a difference to someone who doesn't have enough to eat.
Job Jar
We still have opportunities available!
Our church needs help in a whole bunch of areas. If everyone did
something it would make things much easier on the few who do a lot and on
the minister. So, here is a Job Jar full of fulfilling things to do. We need
someone to clean the closet. You will receive the Swedenborgian Medal of
Honour for this. We need computer folks. Anyone who is computer savvy that
can come into the office once in a while to help us figure things out and
fix little things that don’t work. Change the letter board board on
Saturdays. Set up on Sundays. Clean up on Sundays. Set up on Wednesday
evenings. Work the flower beds - (thanks Carol Fisher).
Our Own Value Village
Do you have stuff you want to give to the church. The church would then
sell it for a great price. It’s a good deal for everyone.
Right now there is a small refrigerator and Microwave oven available. Make
