HELPING HANDS NEEDED:

• Nursery Helpers: We need volunteers to assist in the Nursery during the summer months. A sign-up sheet for August and September is on the board outside of White Hall.

• Are you interested in volunteering your time in our Christian Formation programs for the coming year? We have opportunities to work with children, youth, and adults as teachers, assistants, or helping behind the scenes. To learn more, contact Harper at hbathel@standrewsnorfolk.org.  

• Sam's Scarves and Hats Project: Attention knitters, crocheters and loomers! It is probably hard to think about doing anything with yarn during these hot summer months but November will be here before you know it. We are trying to collect 125 hats and scarves to provide for those who have to live outside during the winter. So far we have about 85 hats and only 10 scarves. Scarves should be made with darker yarn (not pastels) and should be about 5 feet in length. Hats should be made to fit both men and women. If you have finished products, you may leave them across from Dennis' office. Questions? Please contact Debbie Black or Deane Sobol. Thank you for the time you give to help others.
