Church Family, you may have noticed that we again have a clothing donation box behind the church. It is located near the driveway to the Pine Tree Ridge development. The church will receive $50 per month for having the bin there. So please clean out your closets and fill up the bin…and tell your friends and family about it too. See below for more information and what is an acceptable donation and what is not. Thank you!

Check out the can in the Fellowship Hall to recycle aluminum cans. Not only does it help the environment, but it will generate some cash for the church. Beth Schoening has volunteered to empty the can periodically and take the cans to the recycling center. So, if you have any aluminum cans at home, please bring them in and it will help the earth and Faith Church! Thank you! (Make sure they are aluminum though…if a magnet does not attach to it, it’s aluminum.)

Faith Playdate – Friday July 14th at 10:00 AM – 12PM
Members of Faith are going to welcome pre-school to young elementary age children and their mom or caregivers to the Fellowship Hall for a couple hours of socializing, activities, snacks, and stories. We are reaching out to share the love of Jesus and providing a place for young families to come together for a couple of hours! The theme of July’s Playdate is Noah’s Ark, and we will be learning about Noah and God’s instruction for building an Ark, the animals that he brought into the Ark, as well as building boats and seeing if they can float all while snacking on Animal Crackers. If you know anyone who would be interested in attending this event, please give them a handout from the table outside of the sanctuary. They can RSVP to the office or via our website. Walk-ins are also welcome. If you would like to help, please contact Gail Achilles or Deb Hollenbach. We will be hosting another Faith Playdate on Friday, August 18th.
