PBOC is Going Green!

Please join us in our efforts to make a difference

in our Parish community:

We have started recycling with Fisher Recycling, parishioners Kira & Steve Roff. All parish facilities now have recycling containers and accept the following materials: cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, magazines, aluminum and tin. Please look for the blue or green bins, and help us recycle by placing these materials in the recycling containers. ALL items can be commingled in one easy container!!

CALLING Parishioners to join our “Green Team”: Tuesday, June 8 at 6 PM – “Green Team Meeting & Recycling Info. Session”. Do you want to learn more about recycling and going green efforts for yourself, your home, your community or

business? Those who have experience in this area can attend an informational meeting on Tuesday, June 8 at 6:00 PM in the Parish Life Center. Kira Roff will be heading up our “Green Team” and organizing efforts to coordinate all different ways for PBOC to “reduce, reuse & recycle”.

AID TO OUR MILITARY: Your generosity in donations has enabled us to continue sending care packages to our men and women of the military. They do appreciate your support. Our Knights of Columbus continues to mail these packages. As long as we receive your and the Knights of Columbus support, our military will continue to receive these care packages. Again, thank you. As always your prayers are requested for our military and their safe return. – John Glinka

Today’s psalm reminds us that we have been crowned with glory and honor and given rule over the works of God’s hands. But we must be good stewards, for the Lord will surely hold us accountable for the use of those gifts!

OUTREACH

GRACE MINISTRIES is a faith-based, non-profit organization that encourages community involvement in the lives of our aging population and enables them to continue living independently and gracefully in the place they most desire. Neighbor to Neighbor is a program of Grace Ministries that provides basic life support to older adults who want to remain in their own homes. The Precious Blood of Christ Outreach ministry has partnered with the Neighbor to Neighbor program. Typical services include transportation, medical and quality of life, visitation and reassurance calls. Perhaps you know someone in need of their services, or you may consider becoming a volunteer with their program. Consider becoming a “Carolina Neighbor”. It’s a way to change lives…both yours and your neighbors! Call Joy Hanner at 234-0818 for further information.
