Volunteers Needed for Our Daily Bread
Please remember, we will need some extra help when we cook for the guests of Our Daily Bread on Saturday, July 30, beginning at 8:30 a.m. If we have enough help we'll be done by noon or so, except for the hardy souls who staff the oven. It will be warm, so dress accordingly, but there will be cross breezes, when appropriate doors sre opened by the folks who arrive early. Coffee and a snack will be available. Please let me know that you can help.

Change for Change
Our Change for Change partner for June, July, and August is Dayspring Programs in East Baltimore. Dayspring's mission is to improve the lives of children and families affected by substance abuse, homelessness, and poverty.
Members of our church serve on the Board of Dayspring and its staff, and volunteer to provide opportunities for residents to participate in meditation and yoga classes. Our church also initiated and sponsors Dayspring Garden, providing learning opportunities for children and their moms in planting, tending, and harvesting fresh vegetables, along with enjoying flowers and shade trees.
More information is available during Fellowship Hour at the Peace and Justice Ministry table.
