What is OCWM?
Our Moment for Missions in August will be the UCC OCWM (Our Church’s Wider Mission).These donations go to all settings of our denomination. Some of it stays in our Association, some of it goes to our Conference, and some of it goes to the national setting of the UCC for national and international work. Donating to OCWM may not be as glamorous as giving to disaster relief efforts, but it is every bit as necessary! Pastor Lynn is looking forward to telling you all about it!
Shoeboxes Needed for Rosebud
It’s time again to bring your unneeded shoeboxes in to the church so that we can fill them for the children at Rosebud Indian Reservation! We will begin to organize this ministry shortly after Labor Day, and we’ll need lots of shoeboxes to fill! If you have some cluttering up your closet, bring them to church and we’ll get them ready for a new life: holding gifts for needy children who live on the Rosebud Reservation! They can be left in the east narthex and we’ll store them for you.
We are Still Collecting Items for Emergency Clean-Up Kits
We have lots of donations for the emergency clean-up buckets that we are assembling for disaster relief, but we still need more! A sincere “Thank you!” to those of you who have already donated either materials or money! Remember that you can be reimbursed for the money you spend by picking up a reimbursal form from the table in the narthex, filling it out, attaching your receipt, and giving it to Wanda. (Ask Becky Blauser if you have questions about this.) We plan to complete the kits by the end of July so they can be either used locally or shipped to a distribution center to be used later. Just leave your material donations by the “tornado table” in the narthex, and indicate what you have donated on the grid there. We thank you – and so do those who will use our kits to clean up from the next disaster!
“Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe…” Our yearly summer afternoon of canoeing on the Stillwater River is scheduled for Sunday, August 18. Watch the Sunday bulletin for further details, or contact Lindsay Schultz who is organizing this activity.
Back to School Mission
The Milton Union Back to School Mission is underway and Nashville will once again be contributing 150 packs of index cards. The cards can be brought to the church until Sunday July 28. Student applications are available in the church office and need to be completed and returned to West Milton UCC, 108 South Main St. on or before July 31. Volunteers are needed to put the bags together on Aug. 5 and 6 from 6-8pm. For more information call Carol Garver: 698-6613.
