Sisterhood Invitation for Grads and Retirees
Friday, May 7, 2021
Mother's Day, Grads and Retirees
For the Mother's Day of Prayer, there were not enough participant/ volunteers so we will combine the celebrations with the grads and retirees. We decided at the meeting to have it on 5/15 but if we need to push it back, let me know what the majority of you thinks by Monday 5/10/21.
BTW, I still have gifts for last year's grads so if you know someone who did not come to pick theirs up last month have them contact me.
I will repeat the slide show of the grads/retirees, so I am requesting 3 photos of each with these questions answered:
1. From what school/college is the student graduating? (or) From what company is the retiree retiring?
2. What college or job is the grad attending? In what field will he/she matriculate? What are the retirees immediate plans?
I would appreciate a volunteer for gathering this information with the list of grads and retirees.
If you are having trouble getting messages via Remind, there are some that I get a notice about from the app that says "(This person) is only reachable by email. To receive messages by text or app, they'll need to update their notification preferences." I usually send the message again via email and text and I post the link to this blog on Facebook on our Mount Pilgrim Family group. I'd still appreciate it if someone who prefers to call would volunteer to call those who prefer to receive them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you know of a sister who needs prayer, has a praise report or has passed away please feel free to let us know. Personally, with my schedule, I'm doing better with texts and phone calls. The bottom line is: let the rest of us know rather than just discuss it among those you see in person while discussing only with those what needs to be done.
