SINGLES MINISTRY MEETING JULY 28
Arborlawn’s Singles Ministry is meeting Thursday, July 28, 6:00-7:00 p.m. in Room 225. The study topic for the meeting is Redefining Grace. Groups will go out to dinner afterward.
KROGER PLUS CARDS
It’s time to re-link your Kroger Card Plus for Missions! Last year Arborlawn’s Missions Team received $273 from Kroger as part of a “giving back to the community” program. It is an easy process. Each time you buy from Kroger and use your Kroger Plus Card, a portion of your purchase comes back to Arborlawn. To get started, you need to give the check-out clerk your Kroger Plus Card and a letter from the church with the church’s bar code. You only need to do this once. With each subsequent purchase you will need to use your Kroger Plus Card in order for Arborlawn to benefit. The letters with Arborlawn’s bar code are available in the Gathering Area and in the church office. Questions? Contact Bill or Jenny Rogers.
MOMS GROUP MEETS JULY 26
The next meeting of the MOMS Group is Tuesday, July 26 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in Room 220. We'll be having food, fun, and planning for our autumn activities. Join us! Read more about MOMS (Mothers Offering Mutual Support) here.

Join us in prayer for the following: Frieda and Becky Jennings in the death of husband and father, Malon Jennings; Bob Wordinger in the passing of Rev. Barbara Wordinger (former Associate Pastor at Westcliff); Pam and Dan Perrine in the loss of Pam’s Aunt Carol.
UCC DONATIONS IN JULY
Thank you again for all the clothing donations for United Community Centers. The church is putting the donation bin in the steam table room of the kitchen for your summer donations of clothes. If you have several large bags please contact Madelyn Dean or Joanne Bittiker to meet you at the church at your convenience, or come by your house to transfer the bags to one of our cars. The church is so limited on space at this time; this procedure will save all of us from dragging large bags in and out of the church. A special thank you to new summer volunteers who are working while the regulars are out of town. Don’t forget Styles & Smiles Fashion Show at the Poly Center next Tuesday, July 26 at 2:00 p.m.
WESTAID: EASY-TO-PREPARE
Many kids will be home all day during summer, eating more meals there. Summer is a challenge for families, and they need more assistance than usual. WestAid is seeking child-friendly items (mac and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cereal, canned pasta, etc.) WestAid depends on donations to meet the needs of these families and appreciates the generosity of Arborlawn members. Please leave donations in the box outside the Parlor or in the SAM Building. Monetary donations may be mailed to WestAid, 4701 Bryant Irvin N., Suite #100, Fort Worth, TX 76107. Keep WestAid in your prayers as they continue to look for a new location.
JULY NICA: HAIR CARE
The Northside Inter-Church Agency is asking for shampoo and conditioner during July. Bring donations to the NICA baskets in the steam table room next to the kitchen or in the SAM Building.
