Annual Yard Sale
Yes, there will be a yard sale this summer and it is scheduled for late August, rain or shine. The annual Yard Sale is a time for us to clean and declutter our church storage spaces. We appreciate your donations to add to the variety. We have space to store your boxes and bags of donations now.
What to donate? Anything that is resalable, books, kitchenware, tools, craft materials, etc. Please contact Eunice for advice about donating larger items. Please no old computers. We do not sell clothing at our yard sale, but the Ministry of Justice & Outreach delivers clothing donations to State Street Church Clothes Closet. Jewelry donations will be passed on to the Holly Days jewelry table.
Parsonage
Our special gratitude to Andy Jones and John Wilcox who remodeled both a full bath and powder room at the parsonage. Linda Gouws, Phoebe Horne, John and Eunice Wilcox and three Girl Scout volunteers raked and weeded flower beds and yard. Some painting and thorough house and barn cleaning were provided by Paul Davis, Linda Gouws, Gary Scheuchzer, Eunice Wilcox, Beth Anderson, Rick Anderson, Cathy and Ken Bowden, Russ Anderson and Peggy McGehee. Paul Theisen safely replaced broken window panes. Now we begin Phase 2—more painting and cosmetic changes will require more volunteers. If you would like to assist in preparing the parsonage, please contact the Ministry of Stewardship.
Beinema Hall
Boy Scout Kevin Conroy worked on his Eagle Scout project in Beinema Hall. He built a sliding gondola under the right side of the stage and repainted woodwork to improve appearances. You are invited to continue to support funding of his work by filling Clynk bags with your returnable cans and bottles. Empty, labeled Clynk bags are found in Fellowship Hall. Nice work Kevin and thank you. Larry Gilbert modified the center gondola drawer front to prevent it from scraping the floor and allow easier access to the folding tables. Thank you, Larry.
Garden Ministry
Please contact Linda Gouws if you are interested in helping with the gardens at lgouws@maine.rr.com.
Requests
Please advise us if you notice any church or parsonage building concerns which need attention.
Recycling
Go green and use the recycling bin in the kitchen for clean glass or plastic containers or cardboard. Recycled returnable bottles and cans are appreciated and were used last year to cover Sewing Ministry expenses.
