VCS Craft Supplies
We are collecting empty Altoid or Sucrets tins for a craft project at Vacation Church School. Donations can be left in the designated box outside Gretchen Jordan’s office.
Pictorial Directories
If you had a photo taken by Olan Mills to be included in the parish directory, a free copy of the directory is available from Barbara Schliebe in the dining room following all services today. They can also be retrieved from the parish office during the work week.
Prayers for Honduras
Please pray for our friends in Honduras. As you know from the news a military coup was enacted and President Zelaya was removed from the country. Power was off for a while and people were asked to stay in their homes. Those from the Chapel of the Cross who have been on missions to San Patricio, our sister parish in Honduras, especially feel the pain of our friends in Christ.
Striving For Justice: Ideas Needed!
The parish team working with the Orange County Organizing Committee is holding a series of discussions on this topic the week of July 12, and we want to hear from you! Come give your thoughts about how you see our parish living out our baptismal covenant, and learn more about how we are working with other faith communities to improve life for all of us in Orange County.Please join us for one of the following sessions: July 12 - 11:15 am (following the 10:00 am service), Parlor; July 13 - 7:30 pm, at the home of Nancy Tunnessen; July 14 - 7:30 pm, at the home of Nancy Tunnessen. Refreshments will be served. If you would like to attend, or for directions, please email Nancy.
Stewardship Opportunities
Help Refugee Children Have Fun
The Resettlement Team has lined up free/low cost summer opportunities for the eight Karen children whose families the parish sponsored. The families lack transportation and we need parishioners to drive the children to and from summer day camps and swim lessons. A full list of dates and times is posted on the office door as well as on the Outreach Ministry Board in the dining room. You can also find it on the parish website here. Questions? Contact Lorraine McBride (call office for number) or Barbara Trembley (call office for number).
Support Team Volunteers Needed
A Support Team is a defined group of persons organized to provide practical, emotional, and spiritual support to persons with health concerns or other special needs. Team activities may include a ride to the doctor or grocery store, or help with household or yard chores. A Support Team Member can share a prayer or communion but it is always based on the needs of the person being visited. The most important thing to ask Team Members is, “What do you love to do for others?” It’s different for everyone, and a Team approach allows that flexibility. Contact Vicky Jamieson-Drake to volunteer, 929-2193.
Community Notices
IFC Meal Team Needs
Would you like to help feed hungry people in our community while working with a like-minded group of parish volunteers? The Chapel of the Cross IFC meal team that serves dinner at the Community Kitchen on Rosemary Street on the fourth Tuesday of each month needs a few more volunteers. For more information or to volunteer call Trenna Corey at (call office for number).
Pastors for Peace Potluck
Please join the IFCO/ Pastors for Peace travelers to Cuba at a pot luck dinner Sunday evening, July 12, around 6:00 pm at the Church of Reconciliation, 110 N. Elliott Road. The caravan is expected to arrive in the late afternoon with medical supplies, bicycles, and a variety of needs and discussion will follow the dinner. Chapel of the Cross is hosting them for the night, so please come to the dinner. For more information, email Jerry and Cathy Markatos.
For General Convention
God our Wisdom, who eternally makes all things new: encourage by your Holy Spirit those who prepare for General Convention to labor together for the building up of your world and your Church; counsel them when to act and when to wait; turn their hearts always toward those in greatest need, and away from their own preoccupations and fears; help them never forget that love and mercy are your greatest gifts given us all to offer one another as we see in them Jesus Christ who alone is our joy, our way, our truth, and our life. Amen.
