Volunteers Needed for St. Ann’s Lunch on 6/15 Please
For over 40 years, St. Ann's Catholic Church in the East Central neighborhood has provided a weekly lunch for people in need. Seven groups rotate the cooking and serving. Hamblen has partnered with Spokane Valley United Methodist to provide lunch every seven weeks at 1pm. What Hamblen needs is two volunteers from 10:40-2pm on June 15th to cook/serve/cleanup at 2120 E. First Ave. We also provide six dozen desserts (cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc.), so we'd like 3 volunteers to deliver 2 dozen treats each. Call Dia with questions: 509-389-9858. Sign up here: https://bit.ly/StAnnsSundayLunch

HPPC’s Earth Care Team Helps Protect Our Environment
We will continue to discuss how an Earth Care team could make a difference in the congregation, the neighborhood and the world, when it comes to the environment. We have discussed the possibility of collecting and recycling glass, batteries and plastic that the city doesn’t recycle. We are educating ourselves on the efforts already going on in Spokane and how we can contribute to those efforts. We’ve also talked about ways we can raise awareness of this issue in the worship service, through liturgy and a possible liturgical season focused on the environment. If you are interested in taking a more active role in protecting the environment, call Steve Sparks at (509) 954-7705 or Katie Haney at (509) 840-3456 and we can send you the Zoom link for our next meeting. Next meeting: Monday, June 9 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom
