LATE BREAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS
(More announcements are in the monthly newsletter, available in the narthex)
Summer Sunday Camp: Children ages 4-12 will have an Assembly.
We celebrate with Barbara Bunting who returned to church following her lung operation; with Russ Carter who earned his PhD from Drew in History and will take a position in the Fall teaching in a 2-year college in VA; with Bob Petrus and Liz Jefferson upon their engagement; with Will Hilton, Lee's son, and Sue Remore on their engagement; with Eileen O'Brien's daughter, Claire, who will teach music in the Fall ; with Chuck and Kate Rush on the purchase of their farm in Western NJ and with Kathryn Weidener after the joyful meeting with her son, Daniel, and his fiancee Katelin's family.
We ask for goodwill and safety for those traveling and beginning new jobs in faraway places: Alison Vidal who is in Nicaragua this summer; Kristen Salsberry, daughter of Sue and Joe, who is in Uganda this summer on a program with The Bank St. School; and for Ellen Tompsett, daughter of Margaret, who will soon be in the Sudan with a UN food program.
