All-Church Camp Adams Weekend
After taking last summer off, it is time to begin planning for our All-Church Camp weekend at Camp Adams!  Mark your calendars now for our weekend August 20-22, 2010.  This multi-generational event is held at our conference camp near Molalla.  Please plan on joining us for this memorable experience for all ages.

Going Paperless:
Coffee Hour and Beyond . . .

We have had nothing but positive feedback on this step toward making our congregation’s practices more ecologically appropriate.  The Care for Creation working group is committed to continuing to wash dishes during Fellowship Hour.  And we wouldn’t mind some help!  Each week one of us will be in the kitchen, and we encourage others to sign up or just show up.  As we all know, many hands make the work seem light. 

Also, if you attend a small group where coffee and tea are served, think about using the washable cups found in both kitchens.  Then simply put used cups in one of the dishwashers.  And you can certainly bring your own travel cup, remembering, of course, to bring it back home with you.

Fellowship Hour Hosts Needed
Sign up today to help host (make coffee/tea/etc.) an upcoming Sunday fellowship hour.  All supplies and instructions are available for your use.  Serve your church family in this way by signing up on the easel in fellowship hall today.

Helping Hands Giving Hearts - Volunteers Needed
Take a moment to think about your priorities—and your church. Then complete the "Time & Talent" volunteer form (available on the lobby tables or in the church office) and commit to making your church programs a success. Put your energy here! (Thanks in advance to those who have already submitted their form.)

Beneficio Whole Bean Coffee is IN!
Beneficio coffee is sold for $10 per bag during coffee hour on the first Sunday of each month.

Delicious, as well as organic and better-than-fair trade, which means that coffee is purchased directly from farmers in Costa Rica at a better-than-fair-trade price.   Twenty percent of the net proceeds of the coffee is returned to the communities in Costa Rica who grow, pick, and process the coffee.  The funds support the priorities identified by those communities to improve education and quality of life for all.  To learn more about Beneficio, Coffee, go to http://www.itsmorethanfairtrade.com.

We sell Beneficio Coffee because it makes sense, and  Two dollars of every bag supports the Turtle Project on Tasajera Island, an ongoing environmental program run by our partner community on the island of Tasajera in El Salvador.  Rather than selling sea turtle eggs for food, local residents are paid to preserve and protect the eggs so that this rare species of sea turtle will survive and thrive.  Currently supported by a one-year grant from USAID, our contributions to the Turtle Project through our Beneficio Coffee sales will enable this important program to continue, as well as support the fishing peoples of Tasajera to build on the Turtle Project and explore new opportunities of eco-tourism as they look to the future for their community.
