Missions Minutes from May 2008

Missions Minutes

1) Soup Kitchen - May 20, I think we all received the church memo to remind many of the people on church committees, I hope that helped. And J did a reminder the 2nd service on may 18.
2) PADS - (cook out May 18) J also made an announce to remind people.
3) Meals on Wheels - needed one more person Fri. may 30, pretty sure Mary B. had someone for Alyson to pencil in for that day.
4) Food Pantry - first sunday of each month, June is Baby supplies (food & diapers)
5) Rainbow Covenant Project - June is Renz center. (also the bulletin & monthly newsletter is doing a nice job of highlighting the Missions porjects - Yeh! Also thank you Kelley for talking with Deb H.
I sent Deb Howe an e-mail this morning regarding doing a "Mission Minute"
on the Renz Center and she said she would be happy to and was planning on
doing it on June 1.
Old business
1) Flood buckets & health kits - based on conversation it seems that the mission members are the primary suppliers of items & buckets. Again, we brainstormed ways of making the purchasing of items, seem easier and not so crazy. Thank you to everyone who is working on that project.
2) Farmers Market - Sandy was not present, Alyson said she would check to see how those dates are coming along.
3) Nothing but Nets - raised about $50 from the game days & $300 from offering envelops. We discussed that maybe there are too many building needs and other basic needs, so people have to be very picky about where they donate?! Kelley is checking the sport banks periodically, so maybe we just need to do another reminder at one of the services.
4) Hosta sale at garage sale - list went around below is times & needs.
