ANNOUNCEMENTS

ATTENTION SNOWBIRDS
The Deacon Board is looking for a furnished apartment or house to rent for an Interim Pastor. If you are escaping for the winter or know of someone who may be willing to rent their home while they are gone, please call the church office.

WALKERS AND QUAD CANES AVAILABLE
These items are brand new and have very generously been donated to the church. If you have a need for these medical supplies, PLEASE ASK. Bonnie Tordy can be contacted through the church office.

Collection for the Burmese
The winter weather is on its way and the clothing closet for the Burmese is in need of winter clothing. There is also a need for bowls, toilet tissue, soap, liquid detergent, pencils, composition notebooks, hand held pencil sharpeners and other school supplies. If you are willing, donations may be placed in the room across from the upstairs kitchen.

Reading Glasses
The Mission Board will be collecting single vision or bi-focal glasses, ready-to-wear frames with lenses and glass cases to send over seas for those unable to afford glasses. Please no glasses that turn dark in the sunlight. You may place them in a box located outside the church office. This is your chance to give the gift of sight both physical and spiritual.

BJs Wholesale Club - Be a Member under the KBC Family
We offered this last year to the congregation and had a wonderful response. The Church Membership runs Feb - Feb. For those of you who have the KBC membership currently, all you have to do is pay at the regular check out to renew your card. The Cost for renewal is $21.65. If you would like to join as a NEW associate member on the Churches account, please see or call Bonnie Tordy for the form.

Update on Pledges
Board of Trustees Update on Giving: We are into the summer months now. Please take a few prayerful moments and keep up your giving through the summer.

Youth Project - Cartridge Recycling
We are participating with a company that will pay for your used ink jet cartridges. The youth are doing this as a fundraiser. Please save your printer cartridges and deposit them in one of the collection boxes located outside the office upstairs or in the hallway to the fellowship hall. The only ones they do NOT accept in this program are Epson ink cartridges. Thank you for supporting the youth.

Library News

A GOOD BOOK TO READ

If you like to read and are looking for a good Christian novel, I have just the book for you. You can borrow this book which is in the library located in the Church Parlor. “At Home in Mitford” is the first in a series of books authored by Jan Karon. The story is about an Episcopal rector in a small town named Mitford. I highly recommend this book, which has also been enjoyed by Catherine Mallaber and Ruth Kowles, among others.
There are a total of 6 books in the series.

Keep the circulation going by returning overdue books. When you return books please put them in the container and not on the shelves.

SUNDAY MORNING ALTAR FLOWERS
(From The Decorating Committee)
Michael's Florist on Delaware Ave. in Kenmore provides the flowers for our sanctuary. The cost of a single vase will still be $15. Two vases will now be a reduced cost of $25. If you wish to donate fresh flowers, please sign the flower chart on the bulletin board near the small kitchen, and fill out a yellow sheet on the table below the chart. If you wish the flowers to be in memory or in honor of someone, or wish to order anything special (such as certain color flowers) please specify on the sheet. After the worship service, the flowers will be put in a glass vase for you by one of the decorating committee members. You may return the vase to church at your convenience. If you are taking the flowers to the hospital, we have "disposable” containers you can take. Thank you to everyone who donated the flowers last year. They add to the beauty of our sanctuary.
