Volunteers Needed for Playhouse Building Project!!
On Saturday August 17 we will install the base for the new children's playhouse.  This will consist of placing and leveling base supports; building the frame for the floor and porch; and staining and nailing down the porch/playhouse floor.  Materials for this part of the project will be brought to the site on Friday.

Tools needed include:  skill and/or table saw; heavy duty electric cords; hammers, old paint brushes, carpenter level and T squares.  People are needed to get the base supports in and level, construct the frame, stain the wood, and build the floor.  Susan Maleszweski would appreciate some help setting out sandwiches and replenishing drinks.  Please contact Joan McAllister (joan_mcallister@att.net) or Nancy Stoddard (nancystoddard@gmail.com) to volunteer.  We anticipate that this will be a half-day project and will be starting around 9 am.

Caring Committee
The Caring Committee will meet this Sunday, August 11, at Noon in the Library.

Life & Faith in Downtown Raleigh:  Tuesday, Aug. 13
Have you been looking for a group with whom to chew over the challenges of day-to-day living what you believe?  Join us at Tyler’s Tap Room in downtown Raleigh this Tuesday, Aug. 13.  We sit around a table with beverages in hand sharing our questions and swapping suggestions.  Come once and see if this suits you.  Bring a friend.  Anyone can suggest a question for consultation.  If no one suggests a topic, this week’s will be one of mine from Moral Mondays:  “How do I love my [political] enemy while also bearing witness on behalf of those being hurt by him/her?”  Here are the logistics:  Those who want dinner arrive at 6:30 PM; those who only want a beverage come at 7 when we begin the conversation.  Dutch treat.  You can find Tyler’s at http://www.tylerstaproom.com/locations/raleigh/; there is well-lit parking on both sides of the building.  Look for the red “Life & Faith” comma at our usual round table on the far right.

Kevin Wilkins
Kevin Wilkins, who attended CUCC with his wife Renee Howard a few years ago, died of cancer on July 31 at the age of 43.  A former geology student of Skip Stoddard, Kevin switched to engineering for further study.  After he completed his Ph.D. at NCSU, he and Renee moved to Idaho where he worked as a structural engineer.  Our condolences and prayers go out to Renee and the rest of Kevin's family.

Kindermusik
North Raleigh School of Music Presents: Kindermusik at Community United Church of Christ!
*All church members get $5 off monthly enrollment fee!*

What is Kindermusik?
Kindermusik is a fun, exciting music class designed for newborns to 7 year olds. Through high energy movement, singing, reading, playing, and listening, Kindermusik improves a child's creativity, emotional and social skills, reading ability, physical, and cognitive skills. And not to mention, the development of a lifelong love of music! It is also a great way for parents to spend time with their children and socialize with other parents.

Many parents want to know the best way to begin their child's music education, especially when these parents have been told that their child is not quite old enough for private instruction.  Kindermusik is the answer! In addition to the benefits mentioned above, children learn basic music concepts and music reading skills. Kindermusik is a wonderful foundation for the future musician.
