 2011 FLOWER CHART is in the narthex. Bouquets are $15 each. Please pay for your flowers when you signup so we don’t have a deficit in our flower fund. Place your check in a separate envelope and mark it for FLOWERS and the date they are to be on the altar. This will help us keep track and make sure the correct account is credited. Thanks for all who place flowers on our altar. Also, please check and make sure that you paid for any flowers for 2009 as our account is still in a deficit. Thank you.

Jesus and Me and Baby Makes 3!  If you have a child or grandchild between the ages of birth - 2 years, we would love to have you join us on Sunday mornings between 9:45-10:30 a.m. in the nursery room! We enjoy sharing age-appropriate devotions, activities, advice, and the and the love of Jesus with each other. Come and grow with us!

 KENT SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD DONATIONS Women of Faith are coordinating donations to Kent Social Services for their food pantry. A basket is in the Narthex for donations. Suggested items include — macaroni and cheese (Kraft, etc.), ramen noodles, any hamburger, chicken or tuna helpers, toilet paper and paper towels. All donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted but the above mentioned items are ones that are given out on a regular basis. Once a month the donations will be taken to Kent Social Services for distribution to those in need.

BIRTHDAY CARDS Faith Lutheran members continue to send birthday cards monthly to residents of three nursing homes: St. Luke Lutheran Community in N. Canton, Lutheran Home at Concord Reserve in Westlake, and The Woodlands in Ravenna. If you are not already sending cards and would be willing to do so, please contact Ruth White at 330-673-5500 or e-mail her at rwhite015@neo.rr.com. There is a large supply of computer-generated cards available that either Jan Downey or Ruth made. They are located in the file cabinet to the far right of the door to the pastor’s office.

CHURCH MOUSE The church mouse box on the table in the narthex needs some happy thoughts in order to thrive. If you see or know of a good deed that happens around the church, please write about it and put it in the church mouse box for publication in the next newsletter. Only good thoughts please, no criticisms. Let’s build people up by praising the good deeds of our members and friends.
