COMMUNITY GARDEN "CCC" The Children's Church Garden this year will be a CHILDREN'S CHURCH COMMUNITY garden. Adult volunteers needed to help Til and CC with this project, begun by Regina Kaufman and Margaret Chappuis, and continued by Jackie Cloonan, Kathleen Kent, and others. This year we have exciting possibilities for collaboration with elders from the town of Williamsburg and children from neighboring communities. We need YOU! See Pastor Til if you would like to get involved. (Large time commitment not required)

CAPE COD! AUGUST! CHURCH CAMP! We are going on August 20th to the Cape as a Church and there are some spaces still available. See Carolyn du Bois, Registrar if interested!

Church Members and Friends: Would you like to be a Greeter some Sunday? Please contact Jo Canno. Like to be an Usher? Please contact Robert Davis. Like to Read Scripture? Please contact Lisa Hall. We welcome your leadership! Also if you need to schedule the use of the Church Dining Room/Kitchen or Sanctuary, please contact Church Scheduler Kate Davidheiser.

Please remember to bring FOOD FOR THE SURVIVAL CENTER and place in the big basket on the table in the Dining Room of the Church. We welcome your items, thank you! BIBLE BASKET~~Gift Bibles for you (by Dining Room door) from Ladies Aid! Help yourself!

THE HIDDEN DANGER OF FRAGRANCES~~As our Church continues to work on our commitment to reduce fragrances in our Church and be a safe, welcoming place to those with chemical sensitivities, we have a new brochure to share with everyone that can help us learn and do more on this issue. "The Hidden Danger of Fragrances," covers: Fragrance Facts, What's in a Smell?, Symptoms and Health Effects, Products to Watch Out For, and Accessibility Issues. Please help yourself to one of these brochures found on the welcome table in the Dining Room.

TRAFFIC SAFETY~~In the interest of traffic safety, the Board of Trustees has asked that we not park right next to the intersection of High Street and Route 9 but leave two car lengths open on both sides of High Street. This will give drivers better visibility as they turn into or pull out of High Street. Meanwhile, there is plenty of safe parking on the other side of Route 9. Thank you.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE HOME A NEW BOARD GAME TO PLAY WITH FOR A WEEK OR SO? The church owns a big stack of games that YOU can sign out and take home to enjoy for a week or two! The stack is on a table in the hallway upstairs outside of Children's Church. Feel free to go upstairs, look over the games and sign out the ones you want to borrow on the clipboard there!

A CHURCH TRANSFORMED~~Our former Yale Divinity School Intern Jeannine Oakes made a film of our church called "A Church Transformed." We have DVDs of the film for you to borrow. If you would like to "sign out" a copy to watch at home, please see Church Librarian Paula Spencer-she has the notebook for you to sign out a DVD and then return it in a week.
