										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Upcoming Events</strong><br />
July 7      7th Sunday after Pentecost and CARE House Sunday<br />
July 8      Deadline to get items to the office for announcements mailing<br />

July 14    8th Sunday after Pentecost</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Canterbury Court (CCT) Ministry Opportunities</strong><br />
<strong>Arts &amp; Crafts Classes:</strong> Provide materials and conduct class for<em> “Make it &amp; Take it” classes for</em><br />
<em>10 residents of CCT at 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. on June 17, July 15, and/or August 19. Contact</em><br />
<em>Jim Rudd if you are interested in any of those dates</em><br />
<strong>Annual Friends Luncheon:</strong> Provide chicken noodle soup for 20 people to Jim Rudd<br />
on June 23. Provide dessert (cookies or brownies) for 20 people to Jim Rudd on June 23.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Clip Clip Clip—Scissor donations requested</strong><br />
Hope4Riverside continues its yearly school supplies drive. (Wait! Didn’t we start<br />
summer vacation just yesterday?) St. Mark’s has offered to provide scissors for<br />
grades PreK-5. The cost is $400. Cash donations are acceptable. Please see Jim<br />
Rudd for more information.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>St. Paul’s Food Pantry</strong><br />
In conjunction with the Greater Dayton Food Pantry, volunteers, and the many local<br />
businesses that generously donate a wide variety of food products, we strive to<br />
address food insecurity in our neighborhood by operating a food pantry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We try to keep it stocked with appropriate items that can sustain life for impoverished<br />
individuals and families. We operate a “choice” pantry, which can best be described<br />
as a very small grocery store in the church basement. Each client is escorted through<br />
one at a time and offered a choice of items, depending on availability. We also have<br />
a hospitality room run by volunteers for clients to take a coffee or refreshment while<br />
waiting to be served. We try to make a trip to our food pantry a pleasant experience,<br />
a blessing for those in need. We strive to live up to the words from that hymn on<br />
Christian Love that urges us “to guard each one’s dignity and save each one’s pride!”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Your donations of shelf-stable food items can be dropped off in the baskets in the<br />
narthex. We do designate the third Sunday of the month as HUNGER Sunday, but<br />
these donations are welcome every week. Hunger doesn’t take a holiday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Retreat presented by Forward Movement</strong><br />
<em>Led by Scott Gunn and Miriam McKenney July 8-10 at the Transfiguration Community Center in Cincinnati.</em><br />
A disciple’s work begins in prayer. Spend time deepening your prayer life in communi-ty with others at the beautiful Transfiguration Spirituality Center. $200 all inclusive; $120 for Diocese of Southern Ohio members; $75 commuter rate. Meals and lodging are included. Register at fowardmovement.org.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>St. Arbuck’s Coffee Ministry</strong><br />
Be a part of local witness to God’s love and St. Mark’s fellowship. Join us at the Star-bucks Café inside the Kroger store across the street. Spend the morning or just stop by for a few minutes. Evangelism goes down better with a Capuchino! Plus, you can shop for the St. Paul’s Food Pantry while you’re there!</p>

<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you missed the 83 years of construction it took to build Washington National Cathedral,</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">now’s your chance to watch the Cathedral rise again – only this time out of LEGO® bricks!</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When completed, an estimated 500,000 LEGO® bricks will form a 1:40 scale replica of the Cathedral that’s more than 13 feet long, 8 feet tall and bigger than a minivan. It will be the WORLD’S LARGEST Cathedral to be built from LEGO® bricks! Every brick added helps build our LEGO® brick replica AND restore the real Cathedral! At $2 per brick, all proceeds will help fund the remaining $19 million in repairs still needed to fix damage from the 2011 earthquake. People from across the country came together to build the real Cathedral, and we’re doing it all over again to restore an architectural masterpiece and a house of prayer for all people. Current estimates place the build at 2-3 years to completion, and we can’t get there without your help.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bricks from your online donation will be added to the model by our team of volunteers. With the Cathedral’s 215 stained glass windows, six buttresses, and a massive organ with more than 10,000 pipes, we have a lot of work to do!</span></div>
