El Cerron, Honduras-Trinidad Mission Trip
Misty Pope is leaving July 26th for a mission trip to El Cerron in
Honduras-Trinidad with St. Mary's, Washington DC. Each
participant's goal is to carry a full suitcase of children's
Spanish books, arts & crafts supplies to the children of El
Cerron. One of the greatest challenges in this area of the world is
literacy - there is no library system and books for the young to
read at home are scarce. This is a wonderful oppontunity to spread
God's love and gracious kindlness to those who are less
fortunate. Should you wish to contribute, pleast bring your items by
the church office.
I Will Sing to the Lord a New Song
Our choir gets back to rehearsal on Sunday, August 3rd, at 9
a.m.. If you have been
thinking about what it would be like to sing with the choir,
here's your chance to give it a test run! For more info, please
see Irina, our organist, or Elizabeth, our cantor (and parish
secretary).
The Altar Guild
has lost a number of members and would welcome trainees for
this wonderful behind-the-scenes ministry. Trainees would be paired
with Altar Guild mentors. Please contact Jean Almos or Aldie Jacobs,
the co-directors, for further information.

daytime companions to lend a hand and make sure that all is well.
Please sign up on the volunteer calendar located on the table by the
phone in Comfort Hall.
