It is time again for our "Blue Moon Sunday" program.  Whenever a month has a fifth Sunday, we will NOT hold our usual Coffee Hour, instead groups of church members and friends will do community service projects together!  Projects last about one hour.  Bring a bag lunch to church if you like.  Most service projects leave from the back church parking lot 15 minutes after our worship service ends.)  Cars caravan together to the different sites--follow your team leaders.

Garden Party II!!
Team Leaders: JackieCloonan and Monica Messenger
    Join with other church members to help Ann Podolske and Linda Small at their home in Northampton with leaf raking and cleanup.  Our church helped them in the summer to beautify their back yard, so let's continue the beautification process!  (An added bonus is that food will be provided--just bring your favorite drink.)

Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity House Build

Bingo at the Northampton Veterans Hospital
Team Leaders:  Kris Pollard and Dawn Orluske
    Kris and Dawn will lead the residents at the VA hospital in Bingo!  This Blue Moon Sunday project was a big hit with the Veterans when we did it back in August - so come and join in on the fun!

The House of Hope
Team Leaders:  Andrea Ayvazian,  Paula & Richard Spencer
    Help Church member Hope Solanis get settled in her new home in Laurel Park in Northampton.  This project will include scrubbing the walls in her home to take away the odor of fragrances left by the past owner.  Hope needs our help in this because she has a chemical sensitivity and cannot tackle this project alone.  Wear old clothes!
