May 20, St. John's Lutheran Church

 

The sponsoring congregations of Intown Community Ministries (ICM) are pleased to announce the first annual Lunch on the Lawn, an event celebrating the ICM Food Pantry, ICM’s food coops, and the many volunteers and guests who have made these two programs a success.

Lunch on the Lawn will be held at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 1410 Ponce de Leon Avenue. Picnic food -- hamburgers, hot dogs and side dishes -- will be served from 1:30 to 3:30, and everyone involved in ICM and its ministries, including volunteers, donors, guests and all interested people from ICM member congregations, is invited to attend. Come any time during serving hours, and bring a blanket, folding chairs, a frisbee -- whatever says “picnic” to you.  For those who prefer it, table seating will be available as well. There will be musical entertainment provided by members of the community.  There will be even more musical entertainment if you, and perhaps some of your friends, bring your voices and/or instruments as well. Donations will be accepted in the form of cash or checks, or in the form of canned goods to be distributed by the ICM Food Pantry. ICM wishes to thank St. John’s Lutheran Church for making its lawn available, Manual’s Tavern for the use of their industrial-strength grill, and Boy Scouts Troop 18 that meets at Glenn Memorial Church for providing much of the muscle for this event.

Thursday, July 12 - Sunday, July 15

 

Have you been waiting for a local mission trip that fits easily into your schedule? Are you anxious to get to know new people at Glenn UMC? The missions committee has made it happen!

WHERE?  We will be going to the Mountain Lakes District of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church. Once we officially register our group we will be assigned a specific site. WHAT? The goal is to help rebuild areas (churches and houses) within the North Alabama district struck by tornados in 2011 and 2012. WHEN? Departure from Atlanta will be late afternoon Thursday July 12, work all day Friday and Saturday with return to Atlanta Sunday July 15th. HOW?  There is a job for everybody from painting to cooking to sheet rocking.  We will have experienced workers leading and teaching us the skills needed.  No previous experience is needed. WHO? Anybody 14 years old and up are invited to participate. HOW MUCH?  Cost will be less than $70 per person to help offset cost of supplies.   We will be staying in a local church, preparing our own meals and traveling in personal vehicles.  If you can’t go but would like to support the trip, we would appreciate any contributions for gas money, food and supplies. COMMITMENT:  The goal is to take a team of at least 15.  We would like to know by May 20th if you are interested so we can register our team. 
QUESTIONS:  contact Clayton Vertrees at james.vertrees@gmail.com (270)314-2890 or Cheryl Griffin at cherylgriff81@gmail.com 404 428-9636.

 

 

July 20-21, 2012

 

The United Methodist Children’s Home Auxiliary Flea Market & Bake Sale this Spring raised more than $35,000! The money raised will go towards the needs of the children, youth and families at the Children's Home to help them find healing peace and meaningful change in their lives.  Our next flea market and bake sale is planned for July 20 & 21, so mark your calendars. If you would like to donate your gently used items to the Auxiliary for the next flea market, you can leave your items on the right side of the porch of Atlanta Cottage, which is behind the Administration building (the main building in the center of campus). Receipt slips are available for your tax records.  The UMCH Auxiliary is always looking for new members to help sort, price and move items for the flea markets. Call or email Jane Howland (404.327.5832) for more information on volunteering.
