June 9 @ St. Paul's UMC: Announcements

+Women’s Summer Book Group will meet via Zoom on Thursday, June 13, at 3:00 p.m. to get organized. Previous participants will receive the Zoom link by email from Belinda. If you are joining us for the first time, ask Belinda to add you to the mailing list.

+The memorial service for the Rev. Julian Rush will be Saturday June 29 at First United Methodist Church, 1421 Spruce Street in Boulder, at 11:00 a.m. We remember with joy his great legacy to church and society. He pioneered inclusiveness in United Methodism and saved countless lives with his untiring service with the Colorado AIDS Project. His music will live forever, as will his blessed memory.

+Haven Ridge is currently asking for donations of adult bikes and bike trailers! They are located next to St. Paul's and its residents would love to get out and do their grocery shopping, get to work, drop off their children at daycare, and attend their appointments around town by bicycle. Help support their residents while also encouraging sustainable transportation (and don't forget the in-kind tax write off!). Bikes should be any adult size and in good, rideable condition. They are happy to take either e-bikes or traditional bikes; e-bikes should have a working battery and come with all items necessary for charging. Trailers should be in good condition with any attachment hardware accounted for and included. They are also happy to accept bike locks with your bike donations. Email Haven Ridge directly at    info@havenridgeboulder.org to talk about a donation.

+Our thanks to Ken Koome, United Methodist missionary from East Angola, who spoke at St. Paul’s last Monday evening. If you missed this interesting and inspirational talk, you may view the recording at the link in last Tuesday’s News You Can Use. Many thanks to Belinda Alkula for recording the presentation. Also, there are some handouts on the table at the back of the sanctuary. We are taking a special offering today to support Ken’s work. Please make your contribution by cash or check in the basket at the back of the sanctuary.
