Join Us to Walk This Sunday – Intergenerational Labyrinth Walk
Our next Intergenerational labyrinth walk is this Sunday, July 21, at 9 am. The walk will have a healing emphasis. People of all ages, those who have walked before and those who have not, are invited to join us in this very old and very contemporary spiritual practice.
UCC All Church Offering – The Christmas Fund – Christmas in July at Mayfield
The Christmas Fund is one of the five UCC national offerings that we participate in. We take it as a Christmas in July offering since December is always busy with so many things. This offering, which has been in existence for over a century, supports the charitable arm of the Pension Board in these ways: supplementation of small annuities, retiree health premium supplementation, emergency grants, and Christmas “thank you” gifts. The Christmas Fund serves clergy, lay employees, and surviving spouses/partners. More information will be shared in worship this week and next. There will be special envelopes in Sunday bulletins. Mark your check or envelope when making a gift to the Christmas Fund through the end of the month. Thank you.
Mayfield Fellowship Meeting – August 8, 2019 – noon at Mayfield
We will enjoy a picnic lunch and a program update about Hearts to Art, presented by Molly Mehl. Hearts to Art was the recipient of our Father’s Day Offering this year. More details and a sign-up sheet will be available in worship on 7.28.19.
Northern Illinois Food Bank
Remember, our support of the Northern Illinois Food Bank is ongoing. Gifts can be given at any time by way of the offering plate or food bank box. Start watching for peanut butter on sale. We will be taking a peanut butter offering for the food bank in September. There is never enough peanut butter for the demand. The peanut butter offering is being organized by the Deacons.
No more plastic caps or pill bottles are needed. Please do not bring them to church. Thank you!
There will be no memo next week. Watch for the next one around August 1st.
