Do you have carpets needing cleaning? Cora Trujillo has a carpet shampooer and will come to your home and shampoo your carpets if you have contributed at least $200 to the refugee fund!

Donations of Cell Phones, Tablets, and Laptops Requested
Maryalice Power shares the following announcement:
"My daughter Dr. Julliette Power and her friend Irma Schneider, a nurse, are both going to Rwanda in September to help with medical care. They are working at the Adventist University of Central Africa to help refugees from the Congo to obtain education and be able to move out of a cycle of dependency living in the camps. They are reaching out to solicit people who have old cell phones, tablets, or laptops that they would be willing to donate to help the students. Please call or email me (206-324-2483 or maryalicepower@hotmail.com) and I will pick them up or come to the church. Thank you."
