Deacon Notes
Notes from
the Deacons During December, the John O. Wilson Hamilton Neighborhood Center (Wilson Center) is collecting baby food for their food pantry. If members of the congregation wish to make donations, please leave the food items inside the front entrance of the church. The Deacons would like to thank the congregation for their participation in the Blood Drive held at our church on November 1st. There was a large turnout and the Blood Drive was quite a success. The Care Notes Shelves outside of Sweazey Hall have been restocked with some new and interesting titles. Please feel free to look them over and help yourself to any of the Care Notes that look interesting or helpful to you (or to people you know). Our church sponsored the monthly family birthday party for 64 children and their moms at the Homefront Family Preservation Center at Katzenbach School on October 21, 2009. The Outreach Committee and Deacons have partnered to provide this event quarterly. Homefront had suggested this support as other groups which formerly ran these parties have ceased to do so. We buy gift cards for moms and presents for children who have birthdays during the month, and take cake, juice and goodie loot bags for all kids. Homefront loves to see our group come, as we bring along a number of teenagers who take the kids outside! Next time, we will need some indoor activities, and our youth are already talking about games, music, etc to entertain the little ones. Along with the Deacons and Outreach members, Doug Cornelius and Meg Beach invited the youth to participate instead of the Open Doors program that night. A "Hats Off" to Michael Oddo, Haley Nelson, Kiera Nelson, Taylor Mills, Kara Breazeale, Nikki Sirawsky, and Madison Sirawsky for sharing their joy and enthusiasm! Did you ever want to help out at your church but just don’t have the time? Well here is a chance for you to become involved. The Deacons are looking for families and individuals to be greeters before each worship service. All you need to do is come ½ hour before the start of the service with a big smile and a warm hand shake. That’s it!! You can volunteer as many times as you wish. If you are interested please fill out the form in the bulletin and put it in the offering plate. Or contact Lucille Fennimore BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!
