Assistance Needed

For those of you who don't know, there was a fire in Sister Scott's room. She can't stay there for at least the short term. Is anyone able to help out in any capacity?

FYI, no other rooms in the building were affected so our other members who live there are doing fine.

Announcements

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow is the 5th Sunday so we will have a combined Priesthood/Relief Society meeting taught by the Branch Presidency.

As announced a few weeks ago, if you have any needs, please come to me (Emmy) before you call President Hinds.  If something needs to be referred to him, I will take care of it.  Additionally, I have specific appointment times now.  If you have a welfare request or another matter that I can help you with, please contact me at least a week in advance to schedule an appointment.  I will be available every Wednesday evening and every other Sunday.  You can reach me via email (emmy@bludorn.com), phone, text & voicemail (973-280-0898) or at church on Sunday.  Except in the case of extreme emergency, I will not be available to meet for last minute appointments; please plan ahead accordingly.

In accordance with the confidentiality of the church welfare program, I will not be discussing those needs in the hallway at church.  Please schedule an appointment with me.  Again, as announced before, please do not discuss those matters with others, either.  Our stake leaders have stated that discussion with someone other than your branch leaders about welfare that you are receiving is grounds to have it stopped.

Freebies

A member in our branch is giving away a gently used baby armoire and dresser with changing table attachment from Ikea. I will be getting a picture of it later today.

They are also getting rid of a dryer that isn't currently working but just needs a heating element, which is about a $20 part.

Please contact me if you are interested in either item.
