If you have an item or service to offer please signup on the rolling bulletin board in fellowship hall or call Brian Sherry at 233-1010.
MORNING CIRCLE will meet on Tuesday, March 9 at 10 AM. A representative from Daystar will tell us about this facility that cares for infants and children whose developmental handicaps are too great for them to remain at home.
EASTER FLOWER sign-up sheet is on the rolling bulletin board. The cost of flowers is $8. Checks should be made out to “First Congregational UCC” with “Easter Flowers” noted in the memo area.
SAFE JOURNEY NEEDS. They are in urgent need of gently used furniture (beds, couches, chairs, dressers, kitchen tables & chairs, side tables, etc), kitchen items (pots & pans, dishes, silverware, glassware, small appliances - working only please), bedding (primarily twin and queen), towels, and TVs. If you have any items available to donate, please call the program coordinator, Alice Anderson, 388-1706 or contact her by email, alice.anderson@rochester.rr.com. Pick-up can be arranged.
IF YOU HAD YOUR PICTURE TAKEN FOR THE DIRECTORY, you are entitled to a free directory. Those people who haven’t picked up their free directory can do so by finding their labeled directory on the literature table in Fellowship Hall. They are in alphabetical order. There are directories available for purchase, if you want an extra copy or did not qualify for a free one. The price is $5 and can be purchased in the church office.
SALEM SOUP KITCHEN VOLUNTEERS are needed to help fix lunch for those in need. Date: March 23, Time: 9:15 AM volunteers to meet in the church parking lot and carpool to Salem.
YOUR ELDERLY NEIGHBORS may need a ride to do these simple, but necessary things…like a stop at the pharmacy…a visit to the doctor…a trip to the grocery store. Can you help? If you have a couple of hours a week, or even a couple of hours a month, consider being a volunteer driver. You can select your geographic area and the times you wish to drive. You will be provided with training, and supplemental accident and liability insurance. You
may receive a discount on your automobile insurance. As you drive through life, take someone with you! To learn more about becoming a volunteer driver, call Sr. Anne Guerin at 244-8400, ext. 142, or email, aguerin@lifespan-roch.org
SALEM SOUP KITCHEN volunteers will carpool to the soup kitchen on March 23, leaving at 9:15 AM from our parking lot and returning mid-afternoon. Please join us to help prepare a lunch for those in need.
CONGRATULATIONS to our own Pat May on being selected as “Citizen of the Year” by Fairport-Perinton Chamber of Commerce. A dinner in her honor will be held at the Green Lantern on March 26. Tickets are available though the Chamber of Commerce.
GET A TASTE OF LIFE IN AN EMERGENCY FEEDING CLINIC. The Senior High Class will be offering samples of Plumpy’nut again today for a donation towards World Visions 30-Hour Famine. Plumpy’nut is a vitamin-fortified, peanut-buttery paste with a kid-friendly taste. It’s yummy and helps children bounce back fast from severe malnutrition. Come join the Senior High Class in Fellowship Hall and try a spoonful!
BERTHA AGOR MEMORIAL NURSERY SCHOOL will have an open house on March 25, 5 to 7 PM for all those that would like to learn more about their programs for next year. Please stop by!
