• June 2008 Mission
  The Women's Board of Northminster is collecting dental kits throughout the month of June for Mission of Mercy. Mission of Mercy is a nonprofit organization that provides free medical and dental services and prescription medications to the uninsured working poor, homeless and economically disadvantaged people of Maryland and other states via a mobile medical clinic. Patients who visit the dental clinic receive a free dental care kit to take home with them.
  
  Pick up a shopping list in the church foyer. Baggies are available for you to fill and return during the month of June to the Mission's collection box. Requested items include toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and small bottles of mouthwash. Travel size toiletry items are also welcome.
• Prayer Shawl Ministry Workshop
  June 21 from 1-3 PM at All Saints Church. Kick off summer with relaxing afternoon of Christian fellowship at the Prayer Shawl Ministry Workshop at All Saints' Church's Fletcher Hall.
  
  Join your Northminster friends in learning to prayerfully knit and crochet prayer shawls for children and adults in our neighboring churches and community. Materials and instruction are available for those just getting started or those needing help with an existing project.
