Looking for a Teacher & Helpers CEC is looking to the congregation for volunteers.  A helper is needed on Sunday mornings in the 2-4 year old class. A teacher and  helper team is needed on Wednesday evenings for the Pre-K – Kindergarten class. Thank you!

T-Shirts Using another one of the designs submitted, the elders are making   available T-shirts, free of charge, to the congregation. Order forms are due to the ballot box before Monday, September 9th.

School Kit Bags IMPRESSIVE JOB—as of Wednesday, there are 520 completed bags!! (we needed 500) If you are still sewing, no problem, bring them when completed. If you found you enjoyed sewing bags—keep sewing—we will be able to use them next time we do kits, or MCC is always glad to have more. Starting September 22nd, there will again be bundles of cut fabric available to sew bags, in the room where the quilt is set up.

Relief Bucket Financial Drive as of now $335.00 has been donated in the attempt to match the 30K matching funds. If you are able to help in this effort, please consider doing it within the next 2 weeks so we know how many items to start ordering. This is a hands-on way to help displaced people around the world find some comfort in a very stressful time of their lives. Each $30 donated will be matched to provide 2 relief kits.
