SUMMER CHURCH FINANCES   The summer vacation months of June, July, and August traditionally mean less church income while expenses remain the same. If possible, please try to prepay your summer pledge amount. This will keep our church financially solvent come September. Thank you.  The Trustees. STOCKBRIDGE OPEN TABLE is on a well-deserved vacation for the month of July We have served Thursday dinner for the past 66 weeks! We plan to resume August 5. We need volunteers to make desserts at home, prepare food at the Grange and wash dishes. Come join us and help make the work light. Or come to eat and enjoy a good home-cooked meal with your neighbors. The meal is free but we do accept donations. To volunteer call Anne Hutchinson 528-4030 or Lisa Thorne 298-3261. We especially need middle and high school students to serve and help clean-up and some really keen dishwashers! NEWSLETTER ARTICLES ARE DUE AUGUST 20TH mailto:janpan1@verizon.netshapeimage_2_link_0
