Parent's Night Out - A Night of Respite for Foster Parents

Saturday, June 5, 4:15-9:00 p.m.

On Saturday, June 5, we will partner with Help One Child, a local ministry to foster and foster-adopt families, to provide a fun evening for foster children so their parents can have a night of respite. This is wonderful way to make a difference for families who are dedicated to serving foster children.

Opportunities to volunteer include:

Set up of tables and chairs in Fellowship Hall
Registration check-in for parents and volunteers
Crafts with the children (project instructions and materials provided)
Playing games with the children (games provided)
Leading the children through the events and sitting with them at dinner
Serving dinner to the children and volunteers
Help with clean-up
Some volunteer positions only require an hour and half of time (such as set-up, registration, serving dinner, or clean-up). For new volunteers, there is an optional one-hour training session on Tuesday, May 25 at ODCMV. To volunteer,

contact Bonnie Clark at bonnclark@yahoo.com

Divorce Recovery -- A ministry of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
presents Boundaries: An eight week video series by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend


Monday Evenings, 7 p.m., Garden Court at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, June 1st through July 20th

In this seminar series you will learn:

• What boundaries are,

• Why you need boundaries,

• How to get others and yourself to recognize and respect your boundaries,

• When to say yes,

• When to say no,

• How to take control of your life,

• And how to do all this from a Christ-centered perspective.

You don’t have to be in the process of a divorce to participate in this seminar series, but only interested in having

better, more Christ-like relationships. Come and bring a friend. No registration, no cost, just drop-in.
