Help Wanted...

You Can Help with the Enrights’ Mission:

The pastor of St. Mark’s UMC, Nate Steury (Lorraine Enright’s son-in-law), travels to Zambia every summer to teach at the Kafakumba Pastors School. Together with Chick and Margaret Morris, their church, and St Marks’ UMC (Indialantic, Fla), we can help fill a 40-foot container with items that will be shipped to Zambia in October. Let’s fill Chick and Margaret’s car during their visit to Pitman this summer.  Place items in 2 gallon plastic bags and place in the boxes provided in the Narthex.
See below for items being sought.   Additional items are: bras (new or used), computers, cell phones that use SIM cards, soccer balls, flip-flops, yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, coloring books, antiseptic soap, antibiotic cream or ointment, Ibuprofin, band-aids, graduation robes, fabric trims or fringe for pastor’s stoles, reusable cloth grocery bags and new or used: blankets, sheets, pillowcases, towels, washcloths.

Sunday School Teachers / Assistants

Our Sunday School program is in need of people who would be willing to teach or assist our children. We ask each of you to pray about
availing yourself to God's service concerning this matter. As the Lord calls, and you obey, please contact Carol Fox, our Christian Ed. Com. chairperson. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

Driver(s) Needed

To drive wheelchair-bound and other elderly church members to and from Sunday service? A car is needed. Contact Jan & Pete Kandle.

Banners

Singing “His Banner Over Me is Love” on November 1, 1987, the first group of banners was dedicated. Over the years additional banners were added by the same group of talented Christian women who quietly served their Lord with their needles and artistic gifts. Unfortunately, the fire took some of the banners and damaged others. We are looking for some women and men who will follow in the footsteps of Gwen Black, Wilma Deisinger, Grace McClain, Grace Smith, and others who began this ministry. After church on August 30th, there will be a meeting in the library for anyone interested.

Volunteers Wanted!
