It is not necessary to have a child in the Nursery to assist.
GIANT EAGLE CERTIFICATES – Are sold in the Welcome Center before and after worship and also in the office during the week. They come in denominations of 100, 50, and 25 dollars. We sell the certificates as a fund raising project, for every $25 certificate purchased the church gets $1.40, every $50 certificate the church gets $2.50 and for every $100 certificate we get $5.00. Did you ever think you could help give to the church by simply buying groceries as a result of using a Giant Eagle card purchased at the church? Also, when you buy your groceries using the cards you get fuel perks and when you buy gas using the cards you get food perks.

ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE – There is no substitute for blood. If people lose blood from surgery or injury or if there bodies can’t produce enough, there is only one place to turn volunteer blood donors. And, even though 60% of us U.S. population is eligible to donate blood – only 5% do. Next Sunday, September 19th, Parkwood Church will be holding their annual fall blood drive in fellowship hall. Please prayerfully consider being one of the much needed 5% and signup today to donate. See Karen Hayward or Chery Falcettoni after church or contact Nancy Burke in the office during the week. Think about it…Since a pint is a pound, you lose a pound every time you donate blood.
