Happy Earth Day!
Sacred Grounds: Crowded Table Event
Wednesday, April 24
10:30-11:30 a.m.
Westminster Café

You are invited to hear about Crowded Table, which works with local churches to provide practical support to foster families and their caseworkers through a partnership that started with Monroe Harding.

Hands-on project – Working together to fill up comfort bags!
Most children move with nothing more than what fits in a grocery bag. Join us in showing love to a child entering foster care or transitioning unexpectedly by filling a backpack with essential items.

Although not required, RSVPs are encouraged.
Please let us know you are coming by clicking here.


The Cafe’s Sacred Grounds series is designed to shine a light on local nonprofits in our community by discussing the mission and needs of these organizations, including ways to volunteer.

How to spot a “Pastor Scam.” 
Below is a sample  email that was received by some church members.  Donovan’s comments are in red.

Subject: Hello Bill.   I have more creative subject lines.
 
Good morning.  Way too nice! How are you doing?  How's your day going?  Are you busy?  Enough about you, let’s talk about me!   I need your assistance, please reply as soon as you get this.  I will not ask for money.  I may ask for usher assistance, signing up for Faith Works,  pledges, naming a child after me.
Thank you so much.  Again, way too nice!
God bless. 
 
Pastor Donovan Drake.   Unless I’m being asked for jury duty, I don’t use my title as a closure.
