To Mug, or Not To Mug

One of the more significant non-recyclable materials in our society is Styrofoam. However, the insulated hot drink paper cups cost three to four times more than Styrofoam cups. To be a better steward of our earthly resources, we are testing using ceramic mugs for coffee and other drinks rather than Styrofoam cups. With the loan of an attractive coffee mug tree from Knox Street Market, mugs will be available next to the coffee machine in the Servery across from "In a Nutshell".

The mugs are available for use anywhere in the church and you may take them out of the building if you will later return them or return replacements. (Don't we all have extra cups around somewhere?) If you don't have the time or inclination to wash a mug after use, please leave it in the kitchen to be washed with the next Creative School dishwashing. Styrofoam cups will still be available if a mug is not for you.

The office staff will monitor Styrofoam cup use and evaluate the test in late May.

Please direct your comments and feedback on this test to Janet or Patti in the office.

 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE

Dinner is from 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm. Cost is $6/person - - Sign up in the Atrium. You are welcome to come for dinner even if you do not participate in other Wednesday Night Live activities.

Adult Bible Study

TEA FOR $10 SCHOLARSHIPS

This year, in lieu of a garage sale to raise money for Creative School Scholarships, the Creative School Parent Council is asking members of the Walnut Hill community to take a moment to enjoy a cup of tea and write a check for $10 to support the Scholarship Fund. In the past, the garage sale has generated between $700 - $1,000. The Creative School Scholarship Committee, under the leadership of Eleanor Anderson, is able to offer one or more scholarships every year to families of young children in our community. Gifts to the Scholarship Fund may be made in honor or memory of a loved one. Make checks out to the Creative School and designate your gift to the Scholarship Fund on the memo line.
