WARM SHELTER COOKS NEEDED! Cooks are needed for the WARM Shelter for 2010.

ECW NO SWEAT YOGA – Elizabeth Johnstone is a certified Yoga teacher who works with the women prisoners in Niantic. The class is held in the Chapel at 9:30 a.m. on Mondays. The fee is $10. for one hour, and all proceeds go to Recovery Yoga (http://www.recoveryyoga.org) as a part of our Outreach Program, since Elizabeth donates her time. While Yoga poses are incorporated, it is stretching and gentle movements in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. If you’re interested or have any questions, you can call Julia Stapleton at 860-245-3657, otherwise we hope to see you there!
The PAWCATUCK NEIGHBOORHOOD CENTER needs the following food: canned meats, soup, peanut butter & jelly, cereal, canned fruits and vegetables, canned beans, tuna, juice boxes for children, and brownie mixes.
COFFEE HOUR HOSTS are needed. It is an easy ministry to provide a few simple sweets and to make coffee for those wanting to share fellowship and camaraderie after the 10:00 service. If you could do this just once or twice a year, it would be a tremendous help to Calvary. Please sign up on the sign-up sheet posted in the Parish Hall. Your help will be appreciated!
