Weekly Calendar & Prayer List for July 5, 2009
WE WELCOME TODAY THE REV. AMY FALLON who is the Episcopal campus Minster at the University of Connecticut and at Eastern Connecticut State University. She joins us today to worship with us and to share her insights about witnessing to the Gospel on college campuses.
CALVARY MUSIC SCHOOL NEEDS YOUR HELP! The Summer Soirée Committee is seeking SILENT AND LIVE AUCTION DONATIONS. This year’s Summer Soirée, “Cirque de la Mer” is happening next Sat., July 11th from 6 to 10 p.m. It is the school’s ONLY MAJOR FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR THE YEAR. Please let us know if you can SUPPORT CMS with a donation. Thank you, and please join us! Liz Hall, 572-6048, and Simon Holt, 705-3037.
NEWS ABOUT OUR PRAYER LIST: We are trying something new as of June 1. Each name on our prayer list will remain for one month. This will enable us to mention each person by first name during the Prayers of the People on Sunday mornings. By doing this, we hope to make our prayers more meaningful to all. Those putting a name on the list may, if they wish, call the church office at the end of a month’s time to request that their person be included for another month. HOW TO REMOVE SOMEONE FROM THE PRAYER LIST AFTER 4 WEEKS OR AT ANY TIME WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY: When we pray, we put our trust in God. We know God hears all of our prayers and knows far better than we as to what is best for us. Therefore, we will hold all up in prayer for 4 weeks and then we hand them off to God. This does not preclude anyone continuing to pray for whomever they wish.
CALLING ALL CASSEROLE MAKERS! Calvary Parish is re-starting a program to provide wonderful, homemade casseroles for parishioners in need of assistance. We are looking for volunteers to prepare casseroles which can be divided into 2-portion freezer-proof plastic containers which will be stored in the freezer beneath the Chapel. Casseroles should be labeled, including main ingredients, date prepared, and cooking time and temperature. Please sign up in the Parish Hall. Any questions? Please call Lois Cole at 860.535.2089. Thank you!
Our friends at the PAWCATUCK NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER need donations of canned fruit, boxed cereal, jars of jam and jelly, and any other non-perishable food items. Next time you’re grocery shopping, why not pick up a few extra items and place them in the basket at the back of the church. Many local families need our help!
COFFEE HOUR HOSTS are needed. It is an easy ministry to provide a few simple sweets and to make coffee for those wanting to share fellowship and camaraderie after the 10:00 service. If you could do this just once or twice a year, it would be a tremendous help to Calvary. Please sign up on the sign-up sheet posted in the Parish Hall. Your help will be appreciated!
