Northminster Directory
It is the time of year to review your listing in the Northminster Directory. If you wish to be listed in the directory and have not done so before, please write in the back of the mock-up, your name, address, phone number, email address and members of your family to be listed. For those who have already been in the directory before, please check your listing to see if it correct, or make any changes. You may mark directly on the page. One copy is located on the bulletin board in the narthex and another copy is on the bulletin board in the reception room. Thanks for you help!
Flowers. You can sign-up to bring flowers on the chart in the Reception Room or call Pam in the office. Your donation and who you'd like to remember will be acknowledged in the Sunday bulletin.
Would you like to take the Sanctuary flowers to a sick friend or relative or a shut-in? Just check the flower chart in the Reception Room. If flowers have been donated by a member and have a "D" after the name, they may be taken. If the flowers are not privately donated, they are available for you to take.
Help the Ballard Food Bank. Something new has been added to the furniture in the narthex. It's a red plastic tub for our contributions to the Ballard Food Bank. Supplies always needed are hygiene items, especially travel size, and toothbrushes, non-perishable protein such as refried beans, beans, peanut butter, etc., and soda crackers. Men's socks are also needed. With winter weather, used warm coats and sleeping bags in good condition would be welcomed.
