The Missions Committee has been busy getting ready for the Slush Booth at the Arts Festival which will take place July 11-12. The money raised will go to various local, national, and global mission projects.
We need the congregation’s help to make this a success. We need people to pick strawberries at Sanderson Gardens, help make the slush, and most of all, to volunteer their time working in the booth!
Sign-up sheets will be in the Atrium/Narthex at the Welcome Center on Sundays from May 31 through July 5. You can also sign up for the different tasks at the links below.
