THE BOOKS ARE IN The book, Elijah of Burton, by Christopher Paul Curtis that was reviewed in the June/July Messenger will be available for sale after the service. The cost is $8.00. The UDR committee will be leading a discussion of the book later in the year. If you have questions, contact JoAnn Chesser, Natalie Constance or Sue Anderson. ADOPT-A-BACKPACK CHUM is once again working with the Duluth School District to host a “Back to School Fair” on Tuesday, August 24. Families with limited resources will be provided school supplies and backpacks at this event. Over 600 backpacks were distributed in 2009. You can either donate a backpack plus the supplies to fill it OR donate the money for supplies. NOTE: Some basic supplies are not listed as there is a sufficient amount of those items. GRADE K-5 BACKPACK: $15 donation OR a backpack filled with:
3 wide-ruled
notebooks 1 crayon box GRADE 6-12 BACKPACK: $18 donation OR backpack filled with:
6 pencils, 3
pens college-ruled loose leaf paper To ensure fairness to all, we pack each backpack identically based on this list. It is most helpful to us if you don’t include additional items in your donation. If you are unable to donate a full backpack, the items we most need each year are backpacks, 3-ring binders and pocket folders. Please make checks payable to: Churches United in Ministry. Donations can be dropped off between 9a.m.-1p.m. weekdays at CHUM Food Shelf East, 120 N 1st Ave W, or call ahead if you need to schedule a different time, 727-2391.

The classes are open to all (incoming 5th graders and older...no upper limit) and the cost is $10 per class to help cover the cost of materials. Check out the bulletin board for more information. Registration forms are in the Church Office. OUTREACH NEEDS Barb Hauck is running low on supplies she gives to people in need and can use the following: diapers, baby wipes, shampoo/conditioner, bar soap, toothpaste & tooth brushes, deodorant. MESSENGER MAILING HELP! A few more hands are needed to ready the Messenger for mailing! Usually it’s done on the last Thursday of the month at 9 - 11 a.m. in the Parish Hall. Men’s strong hands would be welcome, too! The rewards are: you are needed, appreciated, coffee & treats! Leave your name with Joy Williams (727-8992) or the office (724-3535). COFFEE HOSTS There is a sign up sheet in the Parish Hall for the months of May, June, July, August and September and all are encouraged to sign up and take your turn. This is easy and VERY REWARDING as you meet new people and you also get to see how the kitchen operates. In late April a copy of the schedule will be mailed to you so you can post it and you will get a phone call reminding you in mid week before your Sunday. It is best to have a team of two so find a pal or a new friend and please sign up soon. Thank you, Fayth Glass THE REPOSITORY The materials in The Repository have been changed. Take time to look at a copy of the February 1896 Messenger. |

PRAYER STATION The second and fourth Sunday of each month the prayer station is available near the baptismal font following the 10:00 am service. This means someone is there to pray with you if you have a concern, need, intention or thanksgiving for yourself or someone else. This is a simple, yet profound, way of offering what is on your mind and heart to God. |

Church Doors and Safety
-
For building safety Mondays though Fridays, the only unlocked door to the church may be on Superior Street. Please
enter through that door. If you know the keypad code for the Greysolon Rd entrance and find the outside door unlocked you
may enter through that door. -
For regularly scheduled events the Greysolon door will be open and will remain open until the event is over. If you have
an appointment with someone in the building be sure to inquire as to which entrance to use. -
All doors are unlocked on Sunday mornings.

Please be patient as we work to make the building a safer place for all who pass through these doors. If you have questions
or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact the church office.
