• Wear Orange

   

  Every year on the first Friday in June, members of the Wear Orange movement come together to honor survivors of gun violence and demand a future free from this crisis. People wear orange throughout the weekend to show support—in every state and every community across the country.

  
  Make sure you're ready to join Wear Orange on June 2–4 for this year's National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend. Find an event near you and share it with your friends!

• Church Picnic

  

  Church picnic on the front lawn June 18th, 10:30. All are welcome.

• Outreach Committee

  The Outreach Committee met this last Sunday and we decided to change up our mission for the Month. We have been doing Apostle Food Pantry the last several months, you can still donate money, but we are not going to take food donations at this time. We believed that with a money donation,  they could use it toward the things they knew people could use or need. 

  So, starting the first of June, we will be asking for donations of school supplies. We are getting a list from Wilson School and it will be posted on the bulletin board. We are hoping to hold a gathering this Fall where kids can come and paint a Habitat for Humanity stud and receive free school supplies. This is still in the works and we will provide more information as we finalize our plans. Thanks again for all the donations for Apostle Food Pantry and look forward to seeing the donations of school supplies.

  Per Capita 

  Per Capita is a budgetary line item to support the work of the Presbytery of Milwaukee, the Synod of Lakes and Prairies, and the PCUSA General Assembly. (GA $8.98; Synod $5.50; Presbytery $25.52). This year the cost per member in Milwaukee Presbytery is $40. 

  Our per Capita dollars support the staff and resources we receive from the PCUSA. We invite you to share in this budget by giving a gift beyond your pledge to support our connectional church.
