Moderator Moment - Share a Little Bit of Your Time & Talent...Please!

Find the numerous items shared at this meeting here, but we have a couple items we need help with now:
Video recording Rev. Taylor's Sermons - Do you have quality video equipment or know somebody that does? We need a volunteer to record a few sermons (nothing else, just the sermon) for posting to our website. Don't worry about the editing, we have a volunteer for that!
Please
contact Maryann Burns if you can help, have questions or have new ideas to share. Thanks!

A Distinguished Award from the Burlington Chamber of Commerce
|
Tim Higley, 2015 Burlington Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Volunteer
We are so proud of Tim for being nominated and awarded this very meaningful award! All of us who know Tim can attest to how much he does for our Church and all he has given to the Cub Scouts!
As Business Committee chair, I value his dedication, insights and positive attitude he brings to all we do.
As a parent, I am thankful for his unwavering dedication to the Christian Education Sunday School program and our Youth. The Polar Express caroling bus was such a hit with our community!
As a friend, I am grateful for the helping hand he lends when we need to shovel, to mow or simply brainstorm a way to solve an issue.
I am proud to be associated with Tim and extend my thanks to all he has done for us. I invite you all to the Awards Dinner on May 21st to show our support for Tim and other deserving award winners.
Click here for the Awards Dinner details and how you can get tickets. Once again, thank you Tim for all you do and the sacrifices you have made for others.

Better Weather = Maintenance Needs
As the weather warms, we will need volunteers to help keep our property looking good. Please review and respond so the Business Committee can plan properly. Thank you!
Spring Clean up May 2nd, 8:30 am until 12 noon-ish
It is that time of year again and we would like to get all the "stuff" off our parking lot, lawn and around the church. If you can make it, even for an hour, please email so we make a plan of attack. Wear your yardwork clothes, bring a pair of gloves and any tools (shovel, rake, wheelbarrow) that may help.
We would also like to thank Supreme Forest Products for making free mulch donations (with free delivery last year). If you have any mulch needs, please visit their location at Hinman's Lumber on Rt. 69 and tell them you are from the church. We hope to hear soon what they can do for us in 2015!
Lawn Mowing & Trimming Volunteers
We truly need to know who can volunteer time to mow and trim around the church. We use a riding mower for the Labyrinth and the area near the parking lot.
For the grass in front of the church, one would need a push mower. Please email ASAP if you can help so our Committee can make a schedule. Have a son or daughter needing community hours? This is a great way to get them and help us!
Are you getting a new tractor this year? How about donating the old one if it's in decent shape as our current riding mower has many hours on it. If you have an old push mower, we'll accept one of those as well! All we ask is they have no major maintenance issues to avoid a budget buster issue!
Email us if you can help and/or donate a mower. Thank you in advance!

Frank's Flix - Friday, April 10th !
This month Frank's Flix is happy to present
Big Hero 6 (PG, 102 minutes)!
Drop off is at 7 pm and you can send them in with dinner, if you wish.
Pick up will be at 9 pm.
We are asking that a parent stays because we only have one adult to supervise due to a Cub Scout ceremony for our family.
We'll have popcorn and juice, but feel free to bring your favorite goodies as well.
As always, Frank's Flix movies are free but goodwill donations are accepted to replenish the Frank Parmer Fund which is dedicated to helping the children of our Congregation.

 We had a wonderful Annual Meeting with yet another satisfying Potluck Lunch...thank you to all who attended and all the committee chairs who prepared their reports
We also had many people step up to fill a good percentage of our open committee slots, thank you! and it's important!
Please find one or two causes you can support and/or volunteer for this month or early next month. It is so much easier to spruce up the grounds, serve a hot breakfast or sort the cans when we have enough volunteers.
I thank all who will step up in advance! Enjoy the better weather!
Peace,
Jerry Burns
Business Committee Chairperson
Digital Marketing & Management Chairperson
