Again this year, Union Church in Churchville honored First Responders at their outdoor service on Sunday, July17.
Attending were representatives of the Sherriff’s office and the Churchville Fire Department. A Fire truck was there as well for the children and congregants to enjoy. Represented also were two police officers who took part in the 300-mile bike ride to Washington DC in honor of all fallen officers. Cheryl Fridley gave a brief talk about their experience among the thousands of officers who participated in this ride.
These First Responders do not often get the attention and honor they deserve for their tireless efforts to serve their communities. We thank them for their brave service and responding to calls so quickly. Our wish is for their safety while they keep us safe. First Responders are our greatest heroes. We salute and thank them for their service. Do let them know that their commitment and dedication do not go unnoticed.
After the brief service, we had ice cream treats for all which were generously provided by Wegman’s of Chili-Paul. We thank Wegmans for all they do for the communities surrounding them as well for the treats we enjoyed.
POP TABS – Please keep those tiny tabs coming in! They may be small but they help families with seriously ill children in the Rochester area thru the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Collection containers are located in the Fellowship room and lower hall.
Honoring Our First Responders
WOW! Did you see the musical “Life of the Party”? Kudos to Steve Valvano who pulled it together so beautifully within a week. It was the culmination of a great week of VBS at Union Church. Everyone, children and adults — from 3 to 83 — seemed to have a great experience. From the start of listening to stories, singing songs, learning in the classroom, working at a craft, and of course, enjoying some snacks, to gathering together at the end with a song and prayer, it was a lot of fun and joy. It could not have happened without the cooperation and help by all of you – from teaching to bringing cookies for the reception. Thank you for contributing to the success of this year’s VBS. We would love to hear your comments and feedback.
UNION CHURCH 2018 PARADE FLOAT – Smile, God Loves You! was the theme of our Parade Float this year. We’re sure it brought smiles to many along the way. Again we displayed the miniature church built by Harry Pimm many years ago. Al Cullen drove the truck and pulled the trailer provided by Andy Fuller and we decorated it with balloons ad balloon fringe. But the best attraction were the smiles, singing and kazoo playing by old and young sitting on the float and walking alongside with candy and bookmarks for the onlookers. We hope you did not miss this joyous occasion. If so, enjoy the pictures taken by several people. So many thanks to all who helped in all kinds of ways to make this a successful contribution to the community.
