In preparation for sending them off, the Rachel Circle is asking for donations to help with the shipping. The cost for delivering our donations overseas has risen to approximately $4 per item. You can find an envelope in your bulletin or on the table in the narthex. If you wish to write a check, please indicate Rachel Circle or shipping on it. Any amount is welcome.
Special Congregational Meeting Oct 18 at 11am
Bethany’s long-time vision to build affordable housing on its property is becoming reality! In the near future, the City of Bainbridge Island will issue Final Plat Approval for the Finch Green affordable housing community. Besides preliminary site work, a number of other steps are in the final states of preparation, some of which require congregational action. Thus, the Congregation Council is calling a special meeting following worship on Sunday, October 18. Specific proposed actions will be provided following the Council meeting on Tuesday, October 13. Stay tuned because the Finch Green finish line is in sight!!
Baby Care Kit Info.
Diapers (cut from flannel or purchased) and Baby jackets or sweaters (no fleece) are needed to complete the Baby care kits. The date for assembling baby kits has been changed from Tuesday 10/13 to Tuesday 10/20 at 10:00 a.m.. This is due to Marlene having a catheter ablation of the heart on 10/12 and Jennie being with family as her granddaughter has surgery 10/13. Thanks for understanding.
