A Sabbatical Prayer
Guide us, Lord, as we all journey through the months ahead together.
Help us to walk trustingly in faith with our parish family and to serve one another humbly.
May we always be aware of your presence and direction in all we do.
Be with Kristin+, Zachary, and Jasper and give them joy and contentment as they travel, and return them safely to us. Amen.

Basket Raffle
THREE SUNDAYS LEFT!!!
Your Basket Raffle and Silent Auction Committee will begin the creation process of our beautiful filled baskets the first week of August , therefore, we are requesting your donations toward our biggest fundraiser of the year be brought to the church in the next few weeks! Your donations are greatly needed and appreciated!! They may be placed in the labeled large blue tub under the table in the narthex.
Please consider donating any items in good condition that may be suitable for men, women, or children of all ages. Some of our previous basket themes have been for babies, teens, teachers, pets, game/movie night, spa, jewelry, tea time, taco night, crab feast, sports memorabilia, fishing, golf, car wash/auto supplies, cooking, gardening, birding, crafts, tools, healthcare, exercise and inspirational.
Items for the Silent Auction would be those that would generate higher bids by themselves rather than as a part of a basket. Such items could include paintings, quilts, unopened perfume, fine jewelry or high-value gift certificates, and the like.
The “Basket Brigade” would like to invite anyone interested in joining us to learn and enjoy our creation process to please contact Marilyn at Ladyzip2004@yahoo.com. We are in need of individuals to help with, not only the basket creation process, but wrapping the baskets, making bows, making phone calls to businesses, picking up business donations and many other small tasks leading up to the event. Thank you, in advance, for helping us in any way you are able with our greatest fun fundraiser!!
