Community Playgroup Thanks to the help of many members of the congregation our FREE Community Playgroup has really taken off! We now have over a dozen children from the area to come play every Tuesday from 10:00-11:00am. Last month we worked on many theme days including “Hunting for Easter Eggs,” “Decorating Easter Cookies,” and “Planting Seeds for Earth Day.” Anyone is welcome to join our group at any time. There is no need to sign up, just meet us in upper fellowship hall any Tuesday at 10. And you do not have to be a member so please feel free to tell all your friends and neighbors about the playgroup!

Making Connections at the Eddy Shelter This spring the Board of Christian Service and I are working to make connections at the Eddy Shelter, a local non-profit organization working to help the homeless. This year the economy has been especially hard on non-profit organizations who have seen their budgets slashed as demand for their services soars. Over time we would like to partner with the Eddy Shelter in many ways. They may be able to accept some items from clothing drives and they welcome any food and company we could provide for their residents. Throughout the Fall we plan to bring a meal to the Eddy Shelter once per month. If you are interested in this ministry please contact the Board of Christian Service.
