San Marcos projects
1. Yard work at a men’s shelter on Nordahl Avenue in San Marcos. We have worked here before and we were going to do it in the fall, but we got rained out. Now the bushes and weeds are REALLY overgrown. Weaver and Margaret Simonson will lead us on this project. Bring your weed-wackers, garden sheers, rakes, gloves, large plastic bags for the cuttings, and your strong back.
2. Help out low income senior citizens at a mobile home park in San Marcos. We will be cleaning exterior windows, weeding, and doing odd jobs. All equipment will be supplied except gloves.
Escondido Projects
1. This is our physically hardest project. Haul out washers and dryers from community laundry rooms, clean, paint, and then re-install the washers and dryers at Aster Street family housing; Interfaith’s transitional housing for previously homeless people. This is where we deliver Thanksgiving food baskets and have painted and gardened in the past.
2. At Corinne’s Cottage, an elderly women’s shelter, we will patch stucco and paint interior closet doors.
3. Visit shut-ins at a local nursing home. This project is always very much appreciated, especially if kids can take part. We will make cards at church and then deliver them with bouquets during our visit.
(E) VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: Save the dates: Sun., 6/24 – Thurs., 6/28; 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM.
(E) new booklet display in the narthex. " You are invited to view the new booklet display in the narthex. Feel free to browse and take what interests you.

Booklets with different subject matter will also be available in the future, so, have a look from time to time."

Stephen Ministers are available to support and encourage you. For information talk with Pastor Logid, 760-212-7488.
(SM) Sunday Morning Volunteers Needed: It takes a lot of work to make a Sunday morning worship service run smoothly!

(E) LIBRARY NEWS
Nothing changes a woman like motherhood.
Becoming a mom affects your relationships with everyone - your spouse, your parents, your friends and even God. But in the chaos of raising children, cultivating relationships can take a backseat to just getting the kids fed and to school on time. With in-depth research, heartfelt personal experience and expert advice, Bergren shows you how to keep vital relationships during the parenting years. Look for it in section 649 Parenting.
