Volunteers Needed

 

Volunteers are needed on Tuesday August 17 to sort and pack food items for the Rocky River Assistance Program. Volunteers "work" from 7-8:30 P.M. at the Beach Education Center on Detroit Road. Youth are able to earn "community hours" for their school programs. A sign-up sheet is posted on the hall bulletin board.

Berea Children's Home Summer Picnic

 

Outreach Committee is sponsoring the Annual Summer Picnic on Saturday August 28th, from 11:00 A.M. --3:00 P.M. with the residents and staff at the Berea Children's Home. The picnic will be held at their outdoor camp, about 10 miles south of Berea. Volunteers, who prefer to carpool, will meet in the church parking lot at 10:30 A.M. We will need volunteers to grill hot dogs and hamburgers, to serve food, to bake brownies and cookies, and to help direct outdoor activities--hiking, ball games, corn-hole, and face painting. We will have plenty of opportunities to interact with the youth, who are well supervised by the home's staff. This is an enjoyable and meaningful time. Sign-up sheets for "volunteers" and "bakers" are posted on the hallway bulletin board along with directions to the camp.

 

All Church Annual Picnic

 

August 29 following the worship service the All Church Picnic will be held at the church this year. Bring a dish to share. Hotdogs and beverages will be provided. Grills will be available if you wish to bring your own meat. A variety of activities are being planned. If you have any suggestions or wish to help with the activities contact Diana, Marilyn, Pandora or Noel.

 

Rockport Singers All

 

Choir will begin on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Time is 7:30-9:00 PM. We will sing on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at the 10:45 AM service. Please look at your schedules and try us out. If you like to sing, try us out. You do not need to read music. I will teach you. We have a wonderful time using our voices to praise God in song. We also work on our music at 10:00AM each Sunday morning. This helps us refresh from rehearsal and help those who could not be at rehearsal. Again please join us in choir and sing.
