Holy Crutons!
Last Sunday some of you may have picked up croutons that I called “Holy Croutons”. These croutons are made from leftover communion bread. Because the bread has been blessed, we don’t just throw away what is leftover, but we either return them to the earth by feeding them to ducks or other wild animals; OR, we can reconstitute the bread into CROUTONS!
Holy Croutons!
We are looking for people to help with the SET Up and CLEAN UP of weekly Communion.
OR perhaps you would like to provide bread for a Sunday.
Would you consider joining part of the group that prepares the sacred meal of our Lord that we share together in each Sunday’s worship service? We will teach you how to be involved in this wonderful ministry of Communion.
See Leslie, Peter Johnson, Meg Tillman, or one of the Pastors if interested.

Keeping Our Missions Partners in Mind
As we go about our summertime activities, let’s remember our missions partners—missionaries and local and international ministries and service agencies.
Information on ongoing needs and activity updates is available on their websites, in their newsletters, and from Darren Miller via missions@gecovenant.org. Prayer requests are noted in the GE COV Prayer Letter, available via Diane Brown.
Watch this space and visit the Missions display case in the atrium for highlights and information about upcoming special occasions.
