Pastor Tracey is looking for actors! No experience necessary. She and Rev. Wendy Kidd are preparing clergy and seminary student boundary training (Healthy Ministry Relationships Training) videos and they need people to act out role plays and case studies. We need adults, teens and children. Let PT know.

Bring a book and borrow a book!

We now have a Little Library

Please:
1. Wipe down your book, CD, or DVD with a disinfecting wipe;

2. Remove any of your identifying information from the book (name, telephone number, etc.);

3. Bag it in a closeable or ziplock-type baggie.

4. There is not enough room for you to bring a whole bunch of books, CDs, DVDs, so just bring one and take the same away;

5. If the library is out of room, please do not leave the book on the ground or on top of it or on the bench or patio--just put it back in your car and try another day. No one is tending to the library to clean up after you or others who leave the books lying out exposed;

6. Please make sure the books, CDs, or movies have some redeeming social value--no porn or x-rated, racist, sexist, anti-GLBTQA, ridiculously violent, political, satanic, or heavy sexual content. 
Litmus test for sharing your book, film, or music: Could this book be read aloud in our church or in adult education class? Could this CD or DVD be heard /seen at our church or in the adult education class?

Pick three people out of the church directory: 

It's suggested you pick one you know well, one you know but not well, and one you don’t know at all.  Call them, or email them, text them, or send them a card.  In our WHY Teams we are asking ourselves, “What do I need?” and then “What can I offer?”  This seems to be a good model for your contacts with others. 

Consider dropping food off:

Parker Task Force or Help & Hope Center and other food banks need extra support right now.  Drop off non-perishable groceries (in bags please) to Bob and Holly Jay, or Shirley Wick, for Friday deliveries to the Help & Hope Center Food Bank.  

Help & Hope wishes for toiletries, especially feminine products.
