The readings for Sunday are Genesis 1:24-31 and Mark 10:13-16. In the Sermon Edina will be “celebrating children”.

The picnic will be held outside, weather permitting so please bring a lawn chair. Everything will be provided. We suggest a donation to recover costs of $5 per person, $15 per family. Hope you can attend!
MESSY CHURCH
We have another Messy Church coming up on Saturday, June 20. The theme for this Messy Church is “The Sower and the Seed.” We have a couple of kitchen volunteers and one craft already, but we need more people and ideas. We will have a meeting after church this Sunday in the lounge. (No experience necessary)
Church Membership
I would like to start a membership program for those who wish to join the United Church, and this congregation in particular. If you are already a member of the United Church (or Presbyterian or similar), but your membership is with another congregation, your membership can be transferred by certificate. In other circumstances you become a member by profession of faith or confirmation. If you are interested, or just have questions, please give me a call.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Our Prayer Shawl Supply coordinator is Bonnie C. So now, what is needed is knitters/crocheters who will make the prayer shawls. Basic knitting skills are all that is required We have some wool, knitting needles and a basic pattern available. If you are interested contact me or Bonnie C. For those of you unfamiliar with Prayer Shawl Ministries, it is a program where hand knit shawls, are given to people in hospital with the prayers of our church. The shawl provides a tangible reminder of the church’s and God’s presence with the person in hospital.
