SAVEONE: A GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL HEALING AFTER ABORTION
On July 19, SunRise will begin a 12-week abortion recovery program. Save One is a Biblically-based study created for those who have suffered in silence after an abortion. It is geared to help individuals reclaim and restore their peace of mind and self-worth. If you've experienced an abortion, Save One can provide the tools necessary to rebuild your life. It can help you gain control of your emotions, free yourself of guilt, renew your mind, and experience how far God's grace truly extends. It is a journey to emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. Please join us weekly beginning July 19th for Save One. Our meeting time and place will be confidential. For more information, contact Sharon Bass at: 978-3575, or at sbass@sunrisefamily.org.

PRESCHOOL PROGRAMMING ON SATURDAYS!

KEEP ON BRINGING ALUMINUM CANS!!!
The money received from aluminum cans which has been supporting our church's lawn mowing will now be used for all landscaping projects to beautify church property. The trustees are forming a Landscaping Committee to coordinate this effort.
  • If you have interest in designing, planting, yard maintenance, etc., please contact Walt Myers at 265-9939.
  • Keep bringing in your cans! The more we get, the more we can do! Place bagged aluminum cans in the bin outside labeled "Aluminum Cans Only"!
Let’s make SunRise as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside! Thank you!

USHERS AND COMMUNION SERVERS NEEDED!!!
If you are looking for a place to serve, please consider serving on the Welcoming Team as an usher or communion server - or both! Our biggest need is during the 11am worship service. If you can help or would like more info, please contact Lindsey Stewart at 978-2727 or lstewart@sunrisefamily.org. Thank you!

FEED MY SHEEP
The first weekend of each month is Feed My Sheep weekend! Please remember to bring non-perishable items to be donated to area food pantries. Please place donations into the Feed My Sheep basket at the Mission Porch in the SunRise lobby. Thank you!

TRUSTEES NEED YOUR HELP!
If you have expertise in areas, such as roofing, siding, plumbing, in other areas and if you are willing to help the church out once in while, let me know. In addition, if you have had a successful experience with any maintenance companies, please refer them to me. Please contact Walt Myers at 265-9939 or waltmarge@charter.net or put a note in the Trustees mailbox in the Church office.

BAND MEMBERS NEEDED
The SunRise Worship Team currently has urgent needs for acoustic/electric guitar players, male singers, a bass guitar player and an electric lead player. Players serve on one of two rotating teams that serve in worship two weekends per month. Please contact Rochelle Collette, Worship Arts Leader at 978-2727 or by email at rcollette@sunrisefamily.org for details.

LIFT YOUR HEARTS IN PRAYER
The Staff and Prayer Team would love to have our Prayer Room filled during the services. Prayer is a special connection we have with God which enriches all aspects of spiritual life. For worship participants it is especially meaningful to know that the service and everyone in attendance is being blanketed with prayer. A willing heart and the ability to carry on a conversation with our Lord is all that is required. Please contact Pastor Tammy at 978-2727 if you would like to serve in this area of ministry.

HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HABITAT!
At the McCluer Entrance to SunRise, you will notice a clothing dropbox! If you have clothing or shoes that you would like to donate, please put them in plastic bags and place them in the box. Proceeds will go to fund the Habitat for Humanity house that SunRise will be helping with in 2007. If you would like more information about Habitat for Humanity, contact Walt Myers: (636) 265-9939.

LET THE HANDY HELPERS DO IT!
The SunRise United Methodist Men Fellowship have undertaken a service project called "Handy Helpers", which will provide assistance with home chores for those in our church family who need help from time to time. When there is a home task than needs attention, a request for assistance may be made through the SunRise office at 978-2727. All work will be scheduled on Saturdays between 8am and noon.

"PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER"
You've heard it a million times. But things just aren't coming together. You're still hurting. You need someone to listen and walk along with you during this time. A Stephen Minister can be this person for you. To find out more about Stephen Ministry or to receive a Stephen Minister's care, call Mary Close at (636) 379-0979. (Please do not report a friend's need without first asking his/her permission to do so.)
