PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Commitment Sunday - Sunday, June 10th On Sunday, June 10th we will be having Commitment Sunday, where each individual/family will have the opportunity to fill out a Faith Promise Card to make a pledge or gift to the Renew, Rejoice, Restore Capital Campaign. These were handed out at the June 3rd reception and will also be available in each of the pews. We encourage each individual/family to fill out a Faith Promise Card, regardless of the gift. We would love to know that even if you and/or your family cannot give a gift at this current time that your prayers are with this effort. Thank you again for your prayers and support. We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful people here at St. Dunstan's Church! The Good Book Club Continues with Ephesians on June 17th !

WOMEN OF ST DUNSTAN’S Next Women of St. Dunstan’s Meeting 2:00 PM Sat., August 11th !
FULLY FOCUSED ON FEET !!!! A big shout-out of THANK YOU to the very generous response to our "Feet and Fannies" drive for the Children's Center!!! We have collected 45 pairs of both girls and boys undies and 45 pairs of socks for boys and girls!!! This is beyond the wildest dreams of the Children's Center which says THANK YOU. Our gift to them will be blessed during Worship sometime soon before we take our gifts to the Center. Meanwhile, they still have a need of small sneakers, sizes 7-12. Since children outgrow their shoes fast, gently used shoes are just fine. Thrift stores, discount stores are a possibility. Let's give this our best effort!! THANK YOU !!! Attention All Crafters! It’s not too early to start planning what you can create for the Women of St. Dunstan’s December CRAFT FAIR to benefit the Children’s Center in our neighborhood that offers early childhood education to underprivileged youngsters. The Women of the Church donate $1000/year so that the Children’s Center can provide meals and snacks for the children. The Craft Fair has, in the past, featured knit goods, baked goods, pottery, handmade greeting cards, items that people can give others as gifts, jewelry, ornaments, etc. What can YOU create? Now is the time to gather your friends and start creating! OUTREACH Next Ronald McDonald House – June 13th The St. Dunstan’s Choir will cook the next meal at RMH on June 13th with head chef, Rosalie Learned!
