SUMMER DONATIONS: As the summer days start to get longer and more fun, church attendance goes down a bit. We still need to keep the church running smoothly. Also we’re still recovering from that roof repair that, despite your generous donations, still put a strain on our finances.

Thanks a bunch!

Wrap smaller items in the towel and tie with a ribbon or yarn. Please leave supplies in the quilt room. Gwenda Gullickson, WELCA Missions CHUCKLESThe minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to, at the end of the worship service, ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was out and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and sisters, we are in great difficulty. The roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star-Spangled Banner."
