SUBSTITUTE GREETERS: It is customary for our Sunday altar-flower donors to be greeters at the door in the Narthex at 9:30 a.m. From time to time, and for various reasons, the greeters are unable to greet. If you would like to be called upon to fill in as a greeter, please let MARIE BLOOM (381-2824) know. It is important that we welcome our friends as they enter our Sanctuary.

JUST A REMINDER: Please bring cereal to church this Sunday, February 5th for our food cupboards!

THE ADULT BIBLE STUDY: led by David, resumes on Sunday, February 5th, in the Lounge at 11:15 a.m. We continue our study of the Gospel of Mark, starting at Chapter 1, verse 21. Please join us…and bring your Bible!

FEBRUARY 4: is the date for the annual UCP bowling party. It is set for 3:00 p.m. at Fairview Lanes in Fairport. The cost is $14 per person and includes 2 games of bowling, unlimited soft drinks, pizza, bowling ball and shoe rental.

FEBRUARY 12: we celebrate SCOUT SUNDAY! Any Scout - male or female – from any troop – is invited to come in uniform and be recognized at that time.

ELDERBERRY EXPRESS: is in need of more drivers. Please phone Gil Landry at 248-6237 if you would like to volunteer.

COMMUNITY FOOD CUPBOARD of ROCHESTER: (253 North Clinton Avenue) is in need of volunteers. They recently lost some of their workers and need new recruits. Two types of helpers are needed. Since this Food Cupboard delivers to their clients, food must be bagged and distributed throughout the month. Ed, the manager, has drivers for the van but needs one person to go with each driver to deliver. This would be half a day once a month. The other need is to help stock shelves and bag the food. They are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the mornings. If anyone would like to volunteer, please call Ed at 325-4990.

CAMERON COMMUNITY MINISTRIES: Would you like to be a tutor in math or reading? Would you like to volunteer your time? These are just a few ideas!! For more information, check out their website. Also, cash gifts are always welcome! Submit checks made out to the United Church of Pittsford with the notation, “Cameron Ministry.”

A message from Cameron Community Ministries: Thanks for your continued support. We are now in need of these items: clean plastic grocery bags, books (adult and children), bibles, magazines (not over one year old please), toiletries (hotel size is great!).

NOTE: Items should be placed in the blue crate marked for Cameron in Howard Hall.

FAIRPORT BAPTIST HOME: (corner of Whitney Road and Route 250) is looking for musicians (pianists, other instrumentalists and vocalists) to accompany them at the 2 PM Sunday inter-denominational worship services. Services typically have three time-honored hymns. Also, they could use help moving residents to and from the 10:30 AM Thursday morning Bible Study.
If you would like to volunteer your help for either event (weekly, monthly, or just occasionally) please call Chaplain Marianne Katz at 377-0350 for more information, or to schedule participation.
