THIS WEEK

*Save Your Time, Save Your Energy, Support the Shuttle*
Parking around our church is limited, but we all have easy access to over a hundred parking spaces at Casis Elementary and the uncovered parking spots at the Carillon. Instead of trudging uphill in the weather, consider dropping the family off and parking at the diagonal parking on the south side of Casis Elementary School. Our shuttle buses will pick you up and return you to your car with little or no delay. The shuttles run continuously back and forth from 9:15 a.m. until around 12:30 p.m. when everyone is back to their cars. Also, The Sanctuary allows us to park in their lot in the spaces closest to McCullough. The spaces for our use are striped with yellow paint. Their lot is diagonally across Exposition and McCullough. If you would like additional information about the shuttle service or parking in The Sanctuary lot, please call Bob Schluter at the church office (472-3111).

Children and Youth

Children’s Worship at TUMC
All children are welcome and encouraged to worship with their families at the 8:30, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. services in the sanctuary and the 11:00 a.m. service in the fellowship hall. All Children’s Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m. Extended Care (3 and 4 year olds) meets in Room 213 during the 11:00 a.m. services. Musikgarten will resume in the fall.

Galactic Blast -- VBS 2010 will be July 12-16!
People are needed to help with this important ministry. Would you please pray about serving as a “crew leader”? This is such an important job as you will have 5-6 kids (same ones each day). You will get to know these kids, and they will get to know you! Please contact Barbara Latham, Tina McCutchin or J’Nevelyn Lloyd for more information!
*DONATION BOARD is up by the sanctuary elevator. Thanks for looking at it and considering donating some items.

Education/spiritual

Men’s Breakfast Bible Conversation
The Men’s Breakfast Bible Conversation meets every Wednesday in the administration building at 6:45 a.m. Read Luke 8:26-39 and think about the following question in preparation for June 20. What implications for our lives can we see in this passage?

Missions and Outreach

Sign Up for McCurdy Now!
The 2010 McCurdy mission team is making plans for their work week July 18-24. McCurdy is an affordable, private, Christian-based school for grades K-12 in the beautiful Espanola Valley of northern New Mexico. With a proven track record of graduating successful students in an area of low socioeconomic conditions, McCurdy counts largely on the United Methodist Church to maintain its 40 buildings on 44 acres of land. For more information call the church office, 472-3111.

Save Those Prom Dresses!
In anticipation of Tarrytown’s tenth mission trip to the McCurdy School in Espanola, New Mexico, this July 18-24, we are starting a new and exciting mini-mission! We are taking new and gently-used prom dresses and tuxedoes for donation or possibly affordable resale to the McCurdy students. We are requesting that members of our Tarrytown congregation donate prom dresses, cocktail dresses, or even those ever present once-used bridesmaid dresses to this effort.  Not to exclude the young men, we would also accept donations of men’s and boys’ tuxedos or suits. McCurdy provides Christian-based education for grades K-12 in an area of low socioeconomic conditions. Many of the middle and high school students at McCurdy would be very happy to receive these items for their proms and other formal and semiformal events. The McCurdy work team will take the dresses and suits with them on the mission trip in July, in time for McCurdy’s 2010-11 school year. For more information call the church office, 472-3111.

Don’t Forget Those Labels
We still need your labels!  As in previous years, we are collecting labels from grocery items for the McCurdy mission. TUMC’s McCurdy mission team leaves for McCurdy School in Espanola, New Mexico the weekend of July 17. Please bring as many of the following labels as you can to our church office and place them in the label container in the SWIFT classroom before July 17.

  • Campbell’s Labels for Education
  • General Mills Box Tops for Education
  • Tyson’s Project A+

Pastoral care and hospital visitation for TUMC members and friends

Please inform the church office when a member or friend is in the hospital or would appreciate a pastoral call or visit. Because of privacy laws, we are not able to check registration lists in the hospitals to see if our members are there. The ONLY way we know when people are in the hospital is if our members and friends call or email the church office. (472-3111) nancy @ tarrytownumc.org
