heavy duty paper plates

CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES PLANNING
If you volunteered to help out with the service at Cathedral of the Pines on August 23rd, please plan to attend a ZOOM during the week before the service so that you can choose a specific part of the ‘shepherding’ of folks. We will need to get people to seats, check folks in at a hand sanitizing station/face mask handout station, helping with crowd control and parking, etc. Think about what aspect of the service you’d like to help with and ponder the best way to do things.
We’ll figure it out! Many thanks!
Susan and the Worship team

FLOWERS FOR THE ALTAR
Even while live streaming, our altar has had flowers! Now that’s dedication! If you would like to provide flowers for a special memory or special day of dedication, please know that you are welcome to make a bouquet and drop it at the church for the day of the service! We will also be asking for flowers for the altar on the day of our first worship service together since March!
*****
CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES OUTDOOR WORSHIP
On Sunday, August 23rd, Peterborough UMC will host a service at The Cathedral of the Pines at 10 AM. The service will be held outside at the hilltop chapel. If the day is rainy, the service will be held inside at the Cathedral of the Pines indoor chapel. There is room for us all to socially distance inside the building. There will be a soloist to sing for us; Rev Kathleene Card will deliver the message. It will be a time to gather together (with masks and socially distanced bench seating) to worship in the great wide open with the hilltop breezes and sunshine for company. The worship committee and reopening planning group hopes you feel comfortable coming, BUT! If you feel cautious and wish to stay at home, please know that the service will be taped and shown online later in the day. And of course, if you feel at all ill, please stay home and worship with us online.
Details: The outdoor hillside chapel has seating for 100 worshipers. If it rains, the indoor chapel has seating for 70. Please use these details, as you consider your comfort level with gathering on the day of the service.
*If you can’t join us in person the regular stream will be available, but will be delayed on this Sunday until 11:30ish

OFFICE HOURS
Just a reminder that the official office hours for the church are 9 – 12 on Tuesday – Thursday. With all the electronic tools at our disposal it is easy to fall into the need to be “online” 24-7. Try to give our pastor and assistant a break by keeping contacts to only pressing needs on Mondays and Fridays so that they can have some time off during the week. For pastoral needs that are urgent, you can certainly contact Pastor Kathleene outside of office hours.
Pastor Kathleene and Melissa continue to do heroic work for PUMC and we’re deeply grateful for their dedication to our church and its ministry.
Ken Constantine, on behalf of the Staff & Parish Relations Committee

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE LIVE STREAM
We hope everyone is enjoying the live stream worship service. It has been a real learning experience over the past few months, but it seems to come together in a reasonable way each week. We could use some assistance though, on the worship side we could use some help in researching the hymns and building the other worship materials. On the technology side we could use some more help in operating the camera / live stream and learning the technology. If you are interested, please contact Hiel or Susan Lindquist. They would greatly appreciate any help you could provide.

BACK TO SCHOOL BACKPACK DRIVE
The August missions project is off to a good start! Looks like check donations are enough to cover backpack sales. We need 12 more backpacks and one small kiddie daycare pack.
Supplies need some volunteers. If you can help, give a missions person and let them know what you’d like to drop off at the church for ‘back pack stuffing’ day! Many thanks!
