John’s Schedule – John Zondag will be back in the church office Monday, June 24th, and he will lead the service June 30th — the first of our joint summer services with McKenzie and Trinity United Churches. Many thanks to Charlie Clifford, Keith Kelly, Raymond Reichelt, the WMS Group, and Henry Hildebrandt for leading our services during his absence, as well as to Minho Yoo for serving as our interim moderator. John’s summer vacation schedule will be as follows: 8-28 July (3 weeks) and 5-18 August (2 weeks). If a pastoral need should arise during those two periods, please contact Raymond or any other Session member to find out which ministers are available to assist you.
Waxing – The basement floor is due to be stripped and waxed on the afternoon of Friday, 12 July, as soon as the Soup Kitchen is finished for the day. We will need a few volunteers to move movable things out of the Church Hall and the kitchen starting the Thursday afternoon or evening (the 11th), so that there is as little as possible left to be moved after lunch on the Friday. Things will then need to be moved back on the Saturday afternoon or evening (the 13th), so that everything’s back in place in time for the service on Sunday the 14th. Please speak to Keith Kelly (857-5712) or to Mardine if you are available to help with this task.
