Music
Can You Help? Beginning
in September, the Senior Choir is in need of an accompanist. This involves a Wednesday night rehearsal and
playing an anthem for services, approximately three Sundays each month. A modest honorarium is provided. Please call Cynthia McLaren, Director of
Music (289-1748) for more information.
Sunday School
Sunday School and Computer Lab: We are in need of a few Sunday School teachers and Computer
Lab assistants for the 2006-07 school year.
This is a great opportunity to get to know our youth and guide them in
their faith development. Materials are
provided. Check the colorful board in
the Narthex, or call Cynthia at 289-1748 to volunteer.
Race/Walk for the Cure!
It's time to start thinking
about participating in the 2006 MMCF 5K Race/Walk for the Cure! You can
register on-line this year. Log on to http://www.mmcf.org/2006_walk-run.htm and click
on "ONLINE REGISTRATION". Register now and save $5.
It's not too early to
start seeking donations from friends, family, and co-workers. This year,
a generous portion of the proceeds will be donated to Mayo Clinic for blood
cancer research. Our goal is $20,000. That's twice what we
raised last year. I know with your help we can achieve and even surpass
that goal!
If you don't want to
participate in the event (or can't due to scheduling difficulties), but would
like to seek donations from friends, family, and co-workers, we would be very
happy to accept your donations. You can log on to www.mmcf.org/2006_walk-run.htm and either click on
"DONATE ONLINE" to donate yourself, or print a copy of the registration
form to be able to solicit donations.
The more money we
raise, the more we can help people in this community living with myeloma,
lymphoma, leukemia, and other blood diseases. Without you this event
can't be successful.
Thank you, and if you
have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
