PASTORAL CARE
For the Sundays

for donations of foil wrapped chocolate
eggs
and Easter bunnies (big or small),
wrapped gum,
Easter stickers, suckers, etc.
We hope to provide filled
plastic eggs for the families with small children
who use the
Food Bank.
A donation
basket is at the back of the church.
FOOD BANK
SUNDAYS FOR LENT
This Sunday
we are looking for
canned tuna and soda crackers
All donations are very gratefully
received.
HOSPITALITY
Anyone interested
in helping to prepare food,
set up tables, help with clean up, etc,
for funeral receptions,
please contact the Parish Office
to be put on the Hospitality Contact
List.
As we are all so busy these days,
it is more efficient to send out one
e-mail to everyone
when the office is first notified of an
event
so that those on the list can contact
the Committee Chair
to let her know what they can do to
help.
For those without access to computers,
a telephone tree can be set up.
A sign up list will be located at the back of
the church
for those who would like to be on the
telephone tree.
