Special Notes
Want E-Tidings? Did you know that our monthly Tidings newsletter is available online at our website (www.parma-south.org)? If you would be interested in opting out of receiving your paper copy, it will save a few trees, and would save the church some money. Please call Jan at the church office, or send an email to pstidings @ hotmail.com if you would be willing to read your Tidings online, or would like it emailed to you each month, instead of receiving a paper copy in the mail.
!TIDINGS CHANGES! In an effort to make the creation of TIDINGS more efficient, Rev. Juengel is implementing a new procedure. Articles for TIDINGS will no longer be submitted directly to Lisa, our church secretary. Instead, articles should be placed in the TIDINGS mailbox in the workroom (bottom row, near the middle), or emailed directly to the editors, at: pstidings @ hotmail.com.
Our Condolences: Thelma Bagwell, mother of Joan Summa died at East Park Retirement Home on August 30. Her funeral was conducted in South Carolina and laid to rest near her late husband. Please convey your thoughts and prayers to Joan and John Summa.
8 FT. TABLES FOR SALE! We're doing some cleaning in the garage and have some old tables that could be of use to someone. They are still sturdy and may serve you well for a time. For a $10 donation, one of these tables can be yours! Please stop by the church office Mon-Fri between 10 am - 4 pm.
Our Condolences extend to the family of Tom Spurgin, husband to Kathryn and Son-In-Law to Dorothy Kozak. Tom passed away on September 1. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Happy Anniversary! There was a couple, some 50 years ago, who decided to tie the marriage knot. Through the years, much occurred including raising a family, work in the ministry, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. After 50 years, Rev. Malcom & Carol Shields still find joy in their marriage!
Mission Corner:
North Church Partner Program at 40th and Superior
North Church Partner Program will be Sundays, September 5, 12, 19 and 26 and Thursdays, September 23 and 30. On Sundays, Parma-South members will begin at 9 am to assist with dinner preparation, attend worship at 10:30 am then serve and join in a meal with church attendees. Thursdays dinner preparation and service is also needed at North Church. Please call Helen Salisbury at (440) 842-0014 to volunteer and for more information.
TUESDAY JAM:
will begin September 14th. You may ask what is "Tuesday Jam?" We're glad you asked! As you may remember, our youth met on Wednesdays, for Wednesday Night Live, to enjoy some recreation time, a meal, singing and learning during the school year. If you take all of this activity and move it from Wednesday to Tuesday, you have a new name, Tuesday Jam, and just as much fun and learning as before. If you have any questions, please see Susanna Schwab or another Christian Education Committee member.
GOLFERS SAVE THE DATE!
There will be a Return Golf Outing sponsored by Noble Road Presbyterian Church on September 24th. Proceeds will go to the Dougby River Project. Further details will be coming soon.
RALLY DAY IS COMING!
September 12th our new church school year will begin. Come find out what we'll be studying this year and meet with your teachers. We look forward to seeing you then!
