UNITED CHURCH OF LUDLOW Weekly Email News

6/28/2013

 
A warm welcome to all visitors. If the Pastor or any member of the congregation may be of service to you, please contact the church office at 802-228-4211 or Rev. Harpster at 802-875-8895. His email is harpsterd@vermontel.net.
 
Upcoming Meetings

Women’s Group - Every Wednesday at 10:00 AM
Membership Committee – Wednesday, July 3, 7:00 PM
Deacons Meeting – Sunday, July 21, following service.
 
Weekly Offerings
Offerings and other cash receipts for the week of June 23 were $1,368.00. The cost for each week is $1,330.00 (derived by dividing the annual budget by 52 weeks).
 
Altar Guild
Jean Eggleston and Laura Caravatt will be sharing the Altar Guild responsibilities for June, July and August.  Jean will take care of the altar and Laura will do her beautiful flowers.
 
Coffee Hour
A time of fellowship following the service of worship is held in the social hall. Coffee, juice and refreshments will be served.
 
Learn to Serve Communion
For the next three months on the first Sunday of the month there will be a "Shadowing Sunday" for those of you who want to learn how to serve communion.  Come see the process of serving communion from start to finish. If interested, be at the church on Sunday, July 7, at 9:45 AM. We have the servers; you will just be watching the process.
 
Women’s Group and Tag Sale
This will be held on August 24th. All your “treasures” (which we badly need) may be left in the church garage.
 
Congregational Singing Practice
Occasional choir singers and members of the congregation    who would like to "go over" the music for a Sunday service should come up to the organ before 9:50 AM, with hymnal  in hand, when Ed is on duty.  However, he is usually on New Hampshire organ benches on the third Sunday of each month.
 
QUEST Needs Your Costume Jewelry

The Quest summer program for 9th and 10th graders will run from June 24th to August 9th. One of the activities is jewelry making.  You could help this effort by going through your jewelry and donating any unwanted costume jewelry to be used as raw materials for the QUEST program. See David Almond with any questions.
 
Church Back Door
At its last meeting, the Executive Board made the decision that only the front door will be open when our secretary, Sandra Russo, is in the office during her regular hours on Wednesday and Friday.  This new practice provides greater security for Sandra and the church as a whole.  Those with back door keys: if you enter that door on Wednesday or Friday afternoon, please stop by the office to let Sandra know that you are in the building.
 
Vivian Cravens Blodgett
Our sympathy is extended to the family of Vivian Cravens Blodgett who died on June 9, 2013. A memorial service celebrating her life will be held at the church on Saturday, July 6. Coffee hour at 9:00 AM and service at 10:00 AM. All are welcome to attend.
