Parish Announcements

• Now is the time to bring in your donations for the bazaar – the sooner the better, especially antiques and fine jewelry. Remember that items should be in good working condition and clean. We accept many kinds of items, but please NO textbooks, binders, classical records, clothing (scarves are ok), or mildewed items. We already have a large number of puzzles, so please hold those for next year. Donations may be dropped off in the undercroft after the Sunday service, or during office hours (M-F, 9:30-4). Put them on or under the table inside the door from the walkway.
• Any questions, contact Joan(jobrien82@gmail.com) or Sarah C.

8:00 service COFFEE HOUR help needed!!!

The 8:00 service needs a few volunteers to keep coffee hour running. If you can lend a hand this fall contact Betsy Mathews:  magistramathews@gmail.com.

COFFEE HOUR!

You are cordially invited to join us after the 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m for coffee hour in the Connector. We hope to see you there!

The hospitality committee keeps a small supply of treats on hand but this often is not enough. Won’t you please be so kind as to donate a baked good for all to enjoy?  Coffee cakes, quick breads, muffins, or bagels are always appreciated as well as other baked goods.  Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. Please see Sarah Chadwick if you have questions or want to help out further.
