Dear Friends,
    It is time to wrap up the Summer of ‘10! College dorms are being repopulated, notebooks are being purchased, for those of us who are Mets fans (both of us?) our team was gracious enough to wrap up the season early and allow us to turn our attention to Piscataway and East Rutherford where Rutgers and the Giants (both currently undefeated) will step on the gridiron!
    I hope that if you got away for a bit this summer it was refreshing and if – like me – you waited and are taking some time off going into Labor Day, I hope that the clear skies and sunshine last just a little bit longer!
    Here are a few reminders:

• Don’t forget to bring in old clothes to raise money for the work of our mission partners at ProLiteracy America.
• Sign up for the Church Picnic! The date is September 12, immediately after worship, and we will hold it in Gladys O’Brien’s yard, adjacent to the Church. Details are available in the September Belltower and on the Church Bulletin Board.
• There is still a need for someone to take the Summer Season Sunday School this Sunday (8/22)! Can you help? Please let me know as soon as possible!
• Deb and I shot a soggy 97 last Sunday at the Golf Outing (on one of the few rainy days all summer, nice planning right?) which means we will be paying $97 into the Building Fund. If you sponsored us, please send your check along with a note that it is for the Deb & Jack golf pledge! And thank you! And thanks to all of you who supported the golf outing and especially to Juanita and Jasper Meadows who put this all together each year.
