BETH WEISBROD

Beth Weisbrod will be ordained a Deacon at Annual Conference in June!  She will be with us in worship on Sunday, June 1 and we will have a reception for her following the service.  Church of the Good Shepherd will be giving her the stole she receives at ordination.  If you would like to make a contribution to the purchase of her stole, please make a check out to the church and indicate ‘Weisbrod Stole’ in the memo.  Thank you.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Come join our VBS Beach Party to be held June 16-20 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon.  Our theme this year is BEACH PARTY. 

To find out more about VBS and to register your child, click here.

Did you know that labels & box tops from products you may have in your pantry could help out one of our community neighbors? Alpine Elementary is trying to raise money & merchandise for their school and they’ve asked for our help. We have packets in the narthex containing all the information you’ll need to get started.

This is an easy way to make a big difference for the kids in our community. If you have any questions or need more information, see Nicole Beyer.

ALTAR FOWERS

Have you noticed the two floral arrangements on the altar each Sunday?

They are delivered each week by the florist at a cost of $10 per vase ($20 for both).  If you would like to give the flowers in honor or memory of a person, or for an occasion, please sign-up on the chart on the bulletin board in the hallway.  To sign-up:

1)     Select a Sunday and write your name and the person or occasion to be honored.

2)     Take one of the envelopes provided and place your payment inside ($10 for one, or  $20 for both) and place it in the collection plate on Sunday.

Your contribution of the Altar Flowers will be listed in the Sunday bulletin, and the Financial Secretary will record your gift.

If you would like to sponsor the flowers, but do not wish to take them home, they will be taken to a shut-in or the ill.  We would welcome your financial support.

WHEAT BOUQUET

If you wish to make a contribution to World Hunger in honor or memory of a person, or for an occasion, put the name/occasion on the Wheat Bouquet Chart on the bulletin board in the hallway.  Select the Sunday you wish to have the Wheat Bouquet displayed, and put your donation (whatever amount you wish) in the envelope provided and place it in the collection plate on Sunday. 

Your contribution of the Wheat Bouquet will be listed in the Sunday bulletin, and the Financial Secretary will record your gift.
