Pastor Doug’s First Sunday September 7th
Please mark your calendars and plan to be at church this Sunday, September 7th to welcome our new minister, The Rev. Dr. Douglas Williamson (Pastor Doug) and his wife Karen. A welcoming coffee hour will follow our morning worship.
Pastor’s Office Fix-up is Complete!
This week the window sills were oiled, the curtains were hung, the internet and phone reconnected, the furniture returned and the room was cleaned! Things look wonderful and are ready for Pastor Doug to move in. Thanks for your patience during this renovation and thanks to the members of the Parish Board and helpers for all of their hard work!
(Note – the couch and the remaining office items that are still in the Fellowship Hall will be sold at the Flea Market. Please use the couch during coffee time if you would like to!)
The Flea Market is Coming next Saturday – September 13th
FLEA MARKET IS JUST 1 WEEK AWAY!
Please check the sign up sheets to see how you might lend a hand or what you might donate for the bake table or the food tent.
See Karen Murphy with any questions you have! And thanks!
Flea Vendors Needed
There are still a few good spots left for the Flea Market! Would you like to rent a 20 x 20 grassy spot on the common for $40? Crafters, vendors, tag salers and others are welcome to join in the fun! This is a great way to free yourself of unneeded items and enjoy a beautiful day. See Karen Murphy for an application.
Remember, we will have a LUNCH TENT with grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, and other summer treats available!
Please invite your friends and spread the word!
Sharing Cupboard Needs:
The Sharing Cupboard is in need of more plastic shopping bags, mayo, canned peas, canned carrots, and canned green beans. Please leave all donations in the donation box at the church entry. Thank you!

Pastor’s Office Fix-up is almost complete!
The pastor’s office renovation is nearing its end. The wall repairs and painting are complete, cleaning is almost done, the internet and phone are working again and the curtains will be up before Sunday. Most of the furniture has been moved back in and things are looking great. Be certain to pop in and take a look!
Thanks for your patience during this renovation.

The Flea Market is Coming in September!
FLEA MARKET IS JUST 2 WEEKS AWAY!
We are still looking for a few early birds:
2-3 RUNNERS – Runners guide the vendors to their spaces. Runners need to arrive at 6:15am and be physically able to quickly walk the common repeatedly as they guide the vendors to their spaces. The shift is from 6:15am – 8:30am. We realize this is a difficult ask, considering it is very early and can be physically taxing. Please know these volunteers are very much appreciated!
If you can help, please see Karen Murphy!

Office Fix-up is Ongoing – Front Entrance Change, For Now
The renovations to the pastor’s office are continuing and we see light at the end of the tunnel! We are currently using the front coat room to hold the office furniture and supplies. For safety reasons, we ask that you do not enter that room at this time. In addition, the single door front entrance is not to be used. NOTE: The front double doors are accessible and can be used.
Thanks for your patience.
