Judson needs love from you!

Just as God's love is eternal, it seems that the maintenance needs of a 100+-year-old building are everlasting. To ease that burden (and save Judson some serious dough), you are invited to join us on two upcoming Saturdays and help provide our beautiful building with some TLC. 

 We will convene on July 27 and August 10 from 10 am-2 pm to restore the Providence Room into a lovely, inviting space and continue doing exterior window work. We'll have options for working inside or out on a variety of tasks. No experience or expertise is needed, just a desire to help. You can stay the entire time or be there for a little while. We will take a break partway through for refreshments.

 

Please let Clay know if you can help out so we can plan accordingly:  cclaygus913@gmail.com

==================================================

Hospitality Summit Update

A huge thank you to all who participated in last week’s Judson Hospitality Summit! There was discussion, laughter, and problem-solving – Judson at its best.

So what’s next? We are organizing rotating hospitality teams and continuing to plan. Hospitality is one of Judson’s Core Values. But we need you! Maybe you only have a couple of hours a month; maybe “teams” aren’t your thing; maybe you have a few great ideas – join us – you’ll fit right in. Contact Polly Schrom for more information and/or how to join us schrompolly@gmail.com or text at 612-704-1673.

We would love to hear your story – volunteer to do a Personal Reflection in worship! Contact Karla Forsyth at karlamcgray@hotmail.com

 

Worship Readers are needed!

Be a part of Judson’s worship experience – volunteer to be a Worship Reader! The Worship Reader will be involved in sharing Judson’s Land Acknowledgement, the first lesson of the morning (scripture or contemporary), and reading the prayer intents with Carolyn.

 Help on Sunday mornings.

We are looking for people to help greet and pass out the bulletins on Sunday morning. We could also use more people to help with the offering too. If you
