BREAD BAKERS NEEDED!

We are looking for a few bread bakers to help bake communion bread. Each baker is

asked to take one or two months of the year and will bake bread for two

Sundays during those months. The easy recipe is provided and usually takes no more than an hour to hour and a half from start to finish. If you are interested in helping out please contact Penny Bonawitz at pbonawitz@gmail.com or 843-902-2279.

To the wonderful community of GLC,

Thank you all for the thoughts,

prayers, texts, e-mails and phone calls

I received. Your loving

demonstrations of Christian care-giving were much

appreciated, and I am very sure your support helped me

go through the surgery and recovery with more ease and

less troubling thoughts than I believed was possible.

Thank you as well for the thoughtful gift of the altar

flowers; they were beautiful. I feel blessed to be a part of

such a caring congregation.

With love and appreciation,

Barbara Gaw
