July 28, 2024 Announcements
This Sunday we welcome to the pulpit Quincie J. Yamin, pastor at the First United Methodist Church of Voorheesville. She graduated from Duke University with a Master of Divinity. Though she is originally from Louisiana, she is a proud resident of Voorheesville as of the summer 2021. Quincie and her husband, Mathew, are proud parents of their little girl, Charlotte, who was born in early April of 2023. Steeple Project! Work has begun to replace the "dragon's teeth" at the top of our steeple / tower. You may notice that the old teeth have been removed, and our contractors, MAPCO Enterprises, will be on site in the next couple of weeks to put up a new crenellated parapet, and a new access door and roof on the top of the steeple. Our second project this summer is to replace the roof on the rest of the church building and we are currently soliciting bids for that project. More details will be coming soon! This Sunday is our monthly collection for the New Scotland Community Food Pantry and “Cents-ability.” There is a box in the lobby to accept your donations of non-perishable food items, paper goods, or personal care products. There is also a basket for monetary contributions to Cents-ability. Cents-ability encourages us to contribute at least 2 cents per person for each meal we eat, to remind us of the needs of others and our call to respond as Christians to their hunger. Contributions to Cents-ability support the food pantry and Heifer Project Tag Sale: We are planning a tag sale for Friday and Saturday, August 23 & 24 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The sale is for household items (save clothes for our next clothing drive). We are collecting now, in the White Elephant Room.
