NURSE'S CORNER

We are blessed to have knowledgeable and caring nurses in our congregation! They have some words of advice for us: 

Happy 4th of July!!  As we head into a very hot and humid weekend where many people are going to be outside, remember to stay hydrated! According to the Mayo Clinic drinking about 15.5 cups / 3.7L per day for men and 11.5 cups/ s.7 L for women is sufficient daily, but heat and humidity cause people to require more than average. Water is of course the best option but tea, milk, and sports drinks are also a good source. Some foods have 100% weight in water such as watermelon or spinach. Enjoy your 4th of July and stay healthy! For more information check out https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthyeating/ in depth/ water

Remember to pray for these nurses and all those on the front lines fighting the coronavirus. 
SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES 
In order to make our worship services successful, we need your help. We are looking for volunteers in the following areas:
  • Hospitality Station: This will be a new area for our church. Beginning Sunday, June 28 we will have a Hospitality Station. There will be a limited supply of masks, communion kits, and bulletins, also hand sanitizer. One Hospitality Minister per week is needed. 
  • Reader: Read and pray in outdoor worship 
  • Usher: Help folks know where to park and count worship attendees on Sunday
If interested, please contact  Melissa   or Pastor Sarah
