Pizza and Game Night, Friday, July 26 Children of all ages (that means adults, too) are invited to come to the church Friday evening, July 26, at 6 pm and enjoy pizza and a time to play board games. This event is sponsored by Mission and Social Justice. The committee would appreciate knowing approximately how many people are coming so they can order however many pizzas are needed. So, please call Diana or Bruce Bennett (628-4523) or email them at [email protected] Hope you are able to come! This is always a fun evening. Blueberry Picking for the Food Pantry We are hoping to deliver 30-40 pints of blueberries to the Food Pantry each of the next two distribution dates - July 23rd and August 6th. To achieve that goal we need three things to align: a sufficient quantity of ripe berries, some volunteer pickers and a reduction in the population of berry-ravenous birds, especially cedar waxwings. We are planning to pick on the two days before each date, so Sunday and Monday, and also Tuesday morning. (To be exact: July 21, 22 & 23 and then August 4,5 & 6.) So, if you like picking berries and have some time any of those days, we’d very much appreciate your help. Ten pickers picking two quarts each would get us to 40 pints. To make sure we don’t waste anyone’s time, please email ([email protected]) or give us a call (413-628-3980) and leave a message with your contact info so we can get things organized. Many thanks, Charlotte and Sam Rev. David's Office Hours Rev. David will be away July 31 - Aug. 6, with Rev. Ann Hallstein covering for Pastoral Emergencies. Rev.
