Mission Coins
The unspoken goal for Mission Coins by December has been $1,000 for the Mission Committee to give to different mission projects. That is a goal of about $100 each month, so it was hoped that $700 would have been given at this point. At the current time, approximately $300 in coins have been given. Please consider bringing extra coins you may have or you may write a check and memo Mission Coins. Thank you for your part in this mission.
Trustees Project
The Trustees are facing another project at the church. The entryway top windows are cracked. There is a pail by the Pastor’s Office door to catch rain that is coming in. Ron Beerman, Chair of the trustees has had different people take a look at the situation and is expecting the cost of repair to be about $7,000. If you would like to help with the financing of this project, you may write a check and memo Trustees/windows. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
We will be having an All-Church Picnic on Wednesday, August 7, at 6:00 pm at the WU Rec Center’s main shelter. This will be a potluck picnic for everyone!! Please bring a dish or two to share, as well as your own beverage and table service.
A special invitation is being extended to the members of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church of Elgin to join us.
We hope you can come, and bring a friend!
