EXITING THE BUILDING:  The Board of Trustees reminds committee chairpersons, ministry coordinators, and keyholders of the importance of securing the facilities properly upon departure.  If you are the last to leave daytimes or evenings, confirm that no one is in the building by checking the parking lots for cars.  Then arm the alarm system and insure that all exterior doors are closed and locked.  An exit checklist is available in the folder outside of Room 201.

 

EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BECOMING A STEPHEN MINISTER?  Fair View will be training another class of Stephen Ministers on August 26.  Stephen Ministers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time, such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness.  If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please begin to prayerfully consider whether you might want to be part of this exciting ministry. If you think you might be interested, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders: Sandy Cox, Glenda Dingler, Gwen Fenninger, or Laura Hamrick.

 

SUMMER INTERN:  Rick and Suzanne Schilling will reside in the Ballard House during the month of July.  The Lay Supervision Committee chaired by Glenda Dingler invites you to express your support for Rick and Suzanne by inviting them to supper or by making a financial gift through the church, designated “summer intern.”  In this way, the church will pay for Rick’s mileage, meals, and incidental expenses. You may contact Rick at 704-604-1888 or rick.schilling@duke.edu.

 

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL:  Are your children signed up? Are you signed up? We are seeking volunteers for set-up, clean-up, teaching, and kick-off.  July 13-17, 5:30 to 8:00 pm.   Not available that week?  See Kelly Johnson for a list of needed snack donations.  Contact Emily McLain at the church office for more information about VBS!

FAIR VIEW ORNAMNENT:  The United Methodist Women are selling Christmas ornaments. A Sample ornament is available for viewing in narthex with order form throughout July. $15 per ornament. Thank you for your support.

 

FOOD OF THE MONTH:  During July, support Mooresville Christian Mission and Mooresville Soup Kitchen with your donation of canned peas.  Place your donations in

 the red wagon in the narthex or the collection bin in the hospitality area.

 

ARE YOU WORKING?  There's a lot of work to do in God's kingdom. Caregiving is one of the most important jobs God calls us to do--to love others in his name. Our congregation's Stephen Ministry is one way we accomplish God's caring work. Perhaps God has blessed you richly and you're at a place where you can give something back by serving and blessing others. Roll up your sleeves and explore your role in Stephen Ministry by contacting Laura Hamrick (704-807-6062) or Gwen Fenninger (704-664-5690) today. Be a working Christian.

 

COMMUNITY PLAYGROUND UPDATE:  Thank you to all who are helping with the Community Playground fundraising effort.  Church and community members have given $44,000!  We are still receiving gifts to cover site preparation, installation costs, fencing, signage, and benches.  The Board of Trustees of the Duke Endowment met and approved a generous grant for our Community Playground Our next step will be the construction phase.  We still need volunteers to offer some “sweat equity” during the installation of the equipment.
