New handcrafted Earthenware Communion Set will be dedicated on June 7th. Pastor will have a sign up sheet for volunteers to set up communion for 8:15 service using the new Earthenware Set.

Judy and Tom Smith have donated battery operated lights for the Worship Closet in the Narthex. W&M will ask property to install.

Displaying of Altar Paraments from original Sanctuary was tabled until September’s meeting.

Roberta Kressler has resigned as Chairperson of the Altar Guild so we are looking for a new volunteer for this position. W&M mentioned several names and will be contacting some folks who may be willing to help us out in this capacity. Roberta’s last act as chairperson was to host an Altar Guild training breakfast which was very successful. Sixteen people attended. W&M sends a big “Thank You” to Roberta Kressler and Linda Rouzer for their work on the breakfast.

Summer schedule of 8:15 AM and 9:30 AM services will begin on Sunday June 7th and will continue until the Sunday after Labor Day, September 13th, at which time we will resume 8:15 AM and 10:15 AM Services. All signs need to be changed to reflect the new starting time of 9:30 AM for second service.

Pastor Harding asked the committee about the possibility of adding a third Church Service each week. If three services become a reality, it was suggested that we either have three services on Sunday morning or add a Wednesday night service.

Following are some of the events for the summer:
June 7th – Girl Scouts will have a “Safety Fair” in the fellowship hall
June 14th – 9:30 service will be outdoors followed by a picnic. Bring a lawn chair and covered dish.
June 28th – Baptism
July 5th - Baptism
July 6th - Begin VBS
Sept 20th - Senior Choir was asked to sing in Habitat for Humanity combined choir concert which will be held at St. Paul’s Tannersville.

Principles
Heeding the call to trust in God's abundance, the following principles will guide our synod as we invite congregations and individuals to support the mission of the church:

We will recognize how God has blessed us abundantly.
We will acknowledge that we need to give back what we have received as a way to grow in faith.
We will recognize that we are the stewards and not the owners of everything that God has entrusted to us.
We will give proportionately, thankfully offering our first fruits.
Our giving will be significant, so we experience that God provides all we truly need.
We will give joyfully, in grateful response to our generous God.

Saint Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.
