Special Music The choir starts its summer break on June 1. This is now the time to consider offering special music over the summer months. You don't have to do a solo - find a friend or family member to join you! It could be vocal or instrumental, using recorded or live accompaniment (Pat or Marya might be available to play). There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex waiting to have dates filled in. |

Lemonade on the Lawn With June comes a shift from coffee and donuts in the sanctuary to lemonade outside on the lawn. This requires setting out a table, putting out the lemonade and cups, and cleaning up. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for those who want to help with this fellowship event. |

Monday Night Supper |
On Monday, the menu was two grilled hot dogs, baked beans, chips, fruit, and cookies. We gave out 90 meals. Helpers this week were: Marjorie and George, Barbara, Karen and Forest, Susan, Hailey and Alex (student volunteers), and Heidi and Bruce. We bid farewell to Alex for the summer and wish him safe travel home. Hailey will be in town and we expect to see her when her work schedule permits.
