Canned Soda and Bottled Water Are Needed For the 127 Yard Sale: A large part of our fund raising comes
from the sale of drinks. We need a
good supply of drinks for resale so
please help us out and bring in some
water or soda. This year we would
like to concentrate on donations of
bottled water, and canned Pepsi and
Coke products. Thank you!
Samaritan’s Purse Shoebox Ministry: In coordination with Connie Gilbert, Kim Brown and Julie Lister are, during the
months of July, August, and September, organizing an effort for our church members to fill 30 shoeboxes for this Christmas
ministry. These 30 shoeboxes are to be a supplement (a kick-start) to the individual efforts our members will make once we
officially launch our annual shoebox ministry in October. (1) In July, Kim and Julie will make available a list of items
needed to complete shoeboxes for 5 boys and 5 girls, ages 2 to 4, (2) in August, a list of items for 5 boys and 5 girls, ages 5
to 9, and (3) in September, a list of items for 5 boys and 5 girls, ages 10 to 14. This is devoting one month to fill 10 boxes
for each of these three age groups. Therefore, by at the end of September there is a potential for 30 filled shoeboxes to add
to the count put together by our individual efforts upon completion of this Christmas ministry campaign.
Heavenly Hands: David Dennis reported a team of four returned to Henderson Settlement and completed the final details
of the shed the team built last month. Mac Whitnel reported the needs of a lady living in eastern Kentucky who lost her
home to a fire. He asked if any of the HH members would be available to assist with the building of a carport for this most
deserving lady. After some discussion, David Dennis asked Mac to learn and report to him the particular date when the others
are going and report it to him to determine if anyone from LUMC is available to help. In other business, the team agreed
to purchase a Lawrenceburg United Methodist Church banner and to donate up to $475 to the total needed to add striping to
the Simpson Center gym floor. For Heavenly Hands information, contact David Dennis at home 839-5110 or on his cell at
