Happy Friday! See the Carpenter’s Helper newsletter for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost and the week of June 20, 2021. In it you will find a reminder of the upcoming Summer Worship Schedule, a reminder that Communion at the Curb continues, our church’s Covid Policy update, and Eye Spy turns our attention towards altar flowers.
Starting in July 2021, the flower guild will once again be accepting altar flower dedications! They are always accepting new members. What blessings or memories would you like to mark with altar flowers this season?

In this strange pandemic time, the church is aware that some of its members are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in this situation, please let the clergy know of your needs, pray for the church, and feel no guilt about your giving. But if you are able to give, options for giving include mailing a check to your church or online giving. See our Giving information.
The new Forward Day by Day booklets are available. Please feel free to stop into the lobby for a copy, or let me know if you’d like one mailed out to you! There are plenty in both large and small print.
