Other Announcements

Thank You to the VBS Staff-- Thanks to all who helped with Vacation Bible School-- teachers, crafters, kitchen staff, musicians-- everyone!  Your work is so important in reaching out to young people in our community.

Graduate Recognition
-- Please let the church secretary know if you have a family member graduation this year so that they can be recognized and included in prayer at the June 6 worship service.

Mowing / Trimming Volunteers Needed-- A sign-up sheet is posted in the narthex to help with the weekly work needed to help our grounds mowed and trimmed for the summer.

Altar Flowers: Consider the dates that you might like to provide the flowers in 2010.  They can be given in honor of a person or event, or in memory of a loved one.  The cost is $30 for two vases.  Two families may split the cost for a Sunday if they wish to do so.  Families can also opt to use the artificial arrangements and the flower offering will go in the current fund.

Kroger Cards-- Please continue to use your Kroger cards for all Kroger purchases throughout the holiday season.  Community rewards are tied to your customer (Kroger Plus) card. Almost all purchases earn rewards including out-of-pocket co-pays for prescriptions.  If you are signed up, the bottom of your receipt will state, “At your request, Kroger is donating to St. Timothy Lutheran Church.”  If you are not signed up, go to www.kroger.com (you will need to create an account &/or sign in) to register St. Timothy as your Community Rewards recipient.  A form is also available that will allow you to register at the front desk in the store. (Rewards are not earned on the purchase of alcohol, tobacco, postage stamps, Kroger gift cards, bottle deposits, lottery tickets, fuel & fuel center purchases, office services (e.g., faxing), and sales tax.)

Ministry leaders are needed to coordinate Community Outreach and the Communion Deacons.

Classrooms are in need of cleaning and renovation for children's ministry & other needs.

A Preschool/ Daycare Task Force is being formed to investigate the possibility of again providing a preschool or preschool/ daycare. 

 
Crib Sheets Needed for the nursery.  We need two set of new of gently used sheets.
  
Recycle your aluminum cans and be a good steward of our environment.  Drop off rinsed cans in front of the shed or in the marked bins in the kitchen.
 
Spools of Thread Needed (especially white, but any color OK) for sewing bags for Lutheran World Relief school kits. Partial spools are welcome!  This is an on-going Women's Ministry project.
  
Food Pantry: The cupboards are almost bare!!! The food pantry urgently needs restocked.  Especially needed are canned goods (meat, vegetables & fruit), boxed meals, peanut butter and cereal.  You can also donate any items from your Angel Food order that you do not plan to use.  Personal toiletry items are also needed (toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, etc.)
 
Prayer Preparation-- Please sign up to spend 10 minutes in prayer prior to the beginning of each worship service.  Two people will pray for our worship leaders, our worship time together and for the vision of our congregation's missions & ministry.
  
NCOEA Snacks--The North Central Education Association meets monthly at our church.  Volunteers are needed to provide sweet & salty snacks for their meetings.  A sign-up sheet is located in the narthex.

Altar Guild: Members are needed to serve on Altar Guild.  This service opportunity involves preparing the sanctuary for worship services.  Specific tasks may include setting up for and cleaning up after Holy Communion, Straightening pews, changing sanctuary banners, preparing for other sacraments as they arise, and caring for altar linens.  Call the church office for contact information and to learn how you can help
!

Worship Leaders Needed--  Sign-up sheets are posted in the narthex for individuals & families to serve on altar guild, and as greeters, ushers and layreaders for both worship services.
