We are pleased to announce that the Holy Diner is returning this summer.
Enjoy a BBQ in the church parking lot on Thursdays in July and August from 5 to 7 PM. (inside in
case of inclement weather). Please join us for a hamburger, hot dog or
sausage on a bun along with a cold drink and a cookie. Here's a chance to
catch up on summer happenings and a time to make new friends. Everyone is
welcome and all proceeds go to the local mission outreach of our church.
You will find a sign-up sheet at the back of the sanctuary if you would
like to help by baking cookies for this event.

MISSION & SERVICE FUND
Hoping we all remember to put a little extra in this fund
as the needs still go on all summer. Similarly, if we
decide to take a holiday and not grocery shop for the
summer. The fridge starts to look rather empty, but the
family does not get any less hungry. Have a great summer!
