Junior Church is available every week through out the summer. We need volunteers! The lessons are very easy and self-explanatory. There is a book on the table in the Narthex with the lesson plan for each week. Please sign up in the Narthex if you would like to teach for a week. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Lengel or Linda Brower.

A blue bin is in the narthex for new/used medical equipment & supplies...crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, canes, bandages, etc, to be shipped to Ukraine. So, if you are cleaning house anytime and come across a pair of cruthes....don't throw them out (even if the rubber tips are bad).... please give to this mission.
By now, some of you have heard about prayer shawls being blessed by Joan. We are starting a Prayer Shawl Ministry here at UMCR. This is not a new concept. It has become a mission of various faiths. Shawls are given to people in distress, people who mourn, people who relocate, for a new baby, for a graduate, for newlyweds, etc. We would like everyone to become involved w/ this ministry. Here is how you can help:
Teresa Sassaman has a Prayer Shawl Ministry book w/patterns. The shawls are very easy to make. If you have any questions please feel free to contact her. She would be glad to show anyone the basics of crochet if they would like to learn.

Our Church has launched a fundraising project with the help of inkjet recycling company
Empties4Cash. Empty inkjet cartridges can be recycled and remanufactured.
Our church will receive up to $4.00 for each cartridge turned in. This will directly benefit our church and it is great for the environment!
You can help! Any inkjet cartridge with a print head can be recycled,
regardless of brand or type. Do you have an HP, Lexmark, Xerox, Compaq, Brother, Dell, Canon or Apple
printer? Bring in your empty OEM inkjet cartridges (placed in the original box or ziploc bag, to keep
it safe from spills and damages) to the church. There will be an empty box in the narthex where you
can leave them.
NOTE: Canon BCI or Epson cartridges cannot be recycled - they don't have a print head.
