Outreach Ministry

The Outreach Ministry held its monthly meeting on June 10. In addition to regular

members, we were joined by our new member, Allison Ellwanger. Welcome to

Allison!

The Creation Care Garden continues to provide such wonderful produce, thanks

to Alyson Holt and her loyal helpers. The produce is distributed to the Cryer Center

on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month through the summer. We would

like to invite parishioners to join us on the third Sunday of the month of July and

August for fresh veggies at the 10:30 am coffee hour. We will be harvesting

vegetables to share with you and others in our parish that would enjoy the harvest.

The Garden is the site of “Coffee in the Garden” on Sunday, July 12 from 9:15 to

10:15 am (between the 8:00 am and 10:30 services.) Please come to see the

Garden and invite your friends and neighbors. Refreshments will be served.

Our annual school supplies collection will be held August 2-August 13. These

supplies are given to worthy children (determined by the Department of Social

Services) before school begins on August 18. This year, we will need supplies for

seven (7) students, grades 1-12. Supplies most needed are:

• Spiral notebooks

• Loose leaf notebook paper

• Binders (1 ½ ring binders)

• Dividers

• Pens

• Pencils (#2)

• Marble composition books (4 needed)

• Glue sticks

The collection box and list will be placed outside the Vestry room in the Fellowship

Hall. Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.

The annual One Community Under God service this year will be held at the

Urbanna Fire Station on October 4. Our Ministry helps to provide sandwiches and

support for those attending. This is such an important opportunity to partner with

other faith community members in Middlesex County. Details will be in the next

newsletter.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, July 8 at 10:15am. Come join us!!!
