I can't believe I'm asking you guys to bake in this heat!  Anyone have no-bake ideas for August?

This month we are making blonde brownies and oatmeal raison cookies.  I need 3 people to make 4 dozen cookies, paked 2 to a bag and 6 people to make a dozen blonde brownies paked one to a bag.  I know that Mary Ann and Anita will not be available this month.  Betty has already volunteered to make a batch of blonde brownines and Sheila has volunteered to make cookies.  Thak you both!

Does anyone need hairnets, gloves or baggies?

Please let me know what you want to make.  I will ask people to switch if we don't have enouth of something.

Please also let me know if you need pick up or will be dropping items off at the UMC or Congo churches.

Thank you all for being so flexible.

Subject: Car Wash moved to this Sat., May 15 noon - 4:00

The Car Wash to benefit Western Mass Food Bank has been moved from the planned June 5 date to THIS SATURDAY, May 15, from noon until 4:00.

The Car Wash was moved in order to combine this Mission activity with the Ecumenical Youth Group "30 Hour Famine".  Both activities have the goals of drawing attention to hunger and raising food and funds for the Western Mass Food Bank.  

The Youth will begin their fast on Saturday morning.  They will assist with Food for Friends food preparation, and then provide much of the labor for the car wash.  After a service lead by Lutheran pastor Stephanie Smith, they will spend the night in the church without food.  Sunday morning they will prepare lunch for the church and guests, help lead the church service (which will include brief remarks from Andrew Morehouse, Executive Director of WM Food Bank); serve lunch, and, after they have served us, they will break their fast.

Western Mass Food Bank is our Mission Partner for May.  In 2009, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts provided 7.6 million pounds of food through its regional network of 400 food pantries, shelters and meal sites to over 108,000 of our neighbors.  The Food Bank works behind the scenes of nearly every charitable organization that provides food to people in need in Western Massachusetts. For every $1 that we can donate, the Food Bank can leverage $9 worth of food.  Hunger in Western Massachusetts is a real problem.  The Western Mass Food Bank is the lynchpin to managing this critical problem.   For more information about the Food Bank, please go to www.foodbankwma.org

 

.  Through May we will continue to collect food donations on Sundays.

To be a part of the Youth 30 Hour Famine and to help benefit WM Food Bank, please come get your car washed Sat afternoon, and join us for church on Sunday.

You are receiving this message because you are lucky enough to be in my contacts list.  Please forward this message to others in the church: e.g., people on a committee with you, people who are in your contact list, or people who just have a car that needs washing.

Thanks!
