CT Special Olympics - NW Regional Meet - Update
For the second year in a row KSUCC participated in this meet on May 8th
at the Danbury High School. We ran Olympic Town with the help of
65 volunteers, including 27 friends of the congregation. We had
approximately 256 Special Olympians and their siblings go through
Olympic Town, along with coaches, friends and family. Special thanks to all who participated and made this day such a memorable experience.

Volunteers Needed for
Fellowship Time
Please consider signing up for Sunday Fellowship Time (coffee hour).
This is a very important time after the worship service when we come
together as a church community and welcome visitors as well.
You
need
only arrive a little early, start the coffee, set out the
supplies, and clean up afterwards; you also need to bring some milk or
cream for the coffee. Refreshments are always welcome, but not
necessary.
If
you
have never volunteered to help with the Fellowship time, please
let Laura Thompson know, and she would be happy to help you. Dehumidifiers - for our downstairs area
Always Current
Got Any
Staples or OfficeMax Coupons?
Our church office can use those $10-, $20-, and
$30-off coupons to help defray the cost of supplies. Please leave any
that you aren't using yourself in the church-office mailbox.
Make Your
Church Smile
Say �thank you� to God by placing a bouquet on
the
altar for Sunday worship. A number of Sundays are still open on the
signup board on the bulletin board opposite the church mailboxes.
Celebrate anniversaries and birthdays, special occasions, or �just
because." Call upon the bounty of your own garden or bring in
a professionally made arrangement -- or leave a $25 check to "KSUCC" in
the office cubby for the church secretary to order flowers for you.
Your gift will lift all our spirits!
Free
Storybooks for Kids
The Religious Education Team is giving every
family in our church with young children a free Bible story book.
Parents should pick up their copy in the office. (People who don�t
have
children but would like a copy may purchase one for $10.)
Desperately
Needed
The Daily Bread Food Pantry, located behind St
James Episcopal Church in Danbury (25 West Street) desperately needs
donations -- especially cereals, meals in a can (stew, for example),
pasta and pasta sauce, canned corn and green beans, baked beans, tuna,
macaroni-and-cheese, and rice. Please drop your donations at the pantry
or bring them to church next Sunday for delivery afterwards.
Your
Neighbors Are Hungry

friends of King Street Church volunteer to help feed the homeless at
the Dorothy Day Hospitality
