Oldwick Town–Wide Tag Sale – Saturday April 29th
The 3rd annual Tag Sale is just a few weeks away. Kay Beagle’s last request of the Social Ministry Committee was that proceeds from this years’ sale go towards the children of Family Promise. Last year with the help of Endowment, we were able to send four children from Family Promise to a week each at Cross Roads Camp. This year we are establishing a scholarship fund to continue this tradition. We will be seeking volunteers to help sort, price, set and up and sell during the Sale. Look for an electronic signup or contact Rebecca Melick with any questions at (908)229-3744. If you would like to be a seller at the sale, please fill out the form on page 11 of this newsletter and submit to the church office.
Family Promise
Thank you to all of our volunteers who cooked, visited and helped us to host five adults and five children over two weeks in March. We were so pleased to have some new folks this time around. A special thanks go out to Linda Held who agreed to be snowed in over two nights with our guests during the snow storm! This ministry does take some coordination and work to pull off, but is always rewarding especially to visit with the children and to see the families that we have come to know move out on their own. Many of these families come back and volunteer in the program. We actually had two families take shifts during our stay. Our next hosting session is from August 21st through September 3rd.
