The Swift Church Session met on June 21.

   ■ We began with prayer.
   ■ We heard from the safety team regarding emergency exit signs and lights that need repaired/replaced. Also, approved a contract to monitor our fire alarm.
   ■ Church annex air conditioning is up and running properly.
   ■ Susan Pichoff is our new clerk of session upon Sue Ann Lay’s recent retirement.
   ■ We have a contract for the driveway/parking to be seal-coated and parking places striped. Work is about three months out. The preschool is providing the funding for this work.
   ■ Continuing with live streaming using the church’s iPad. We will need volunteers to rotate monitoring the equipment.
   ■ Set July 18 as the date for congregational meeting to elect a nominating committee. Mike Barnwell and Mark Melton will serve as elders on the nominating committee.
   ■ There was a lot of valuable discussion regarding restarting 8:00 worship. The deacons will be asked to contact previous 8:00 attendees to see their interest/intent.
   ■ Heard that Sept. 12 will be a churchwide welcome back day with choirs, classes, lunch, worship.

The meeting closed with prayer.

The handbell choir will be playing during worship on July 25. Jenni Cain and Lisa Cardwell will be playing piano duets for the other Sundays in July.

BUTTERFLY GIRLS/GUYS NIGHT OUT
Thursday, July 15 • 6:30 p.m.
O’Charley’s — 3030 S. McKenzie St., Foley

All are welcome, so feel free to invite others who are not Swift Church members to join us.

Please contact Mary McNair at 251-295-5267 (texts preferred) or marymcnair@centurylink.net, (even if you’re just a maybe) so adequate seating can be reserved. We will continue to have the ladies and men sit at separate tables, so don’t think this is just for couples.

Can’t make it this month? Then mark your calendar to plan ahead for future months since we always gather on the third Thursday, with restaurants changing each month. (Suggestions of places to go that aren’t extremely expensive and take reservations are welcome.)

The food pantry served 43 families and 72 individuals during June. This month, the food pantry will be open on the second and fourth Wednesdays, July 14 and 28.

The Presbytery of South Alabama received a bequest several years ago with the stipulation that it be used to install a water purification system in Guatemala. The Guatemala team researched several different types of water purification systems and concluded that Living Waters for the World has the best support and long-term success rates. Our next step will be sending a group of people to Clean Water U to train as team leaders. Our goal is to have several teams with representatives from multiple churches in the Presbytery. Clean Water U will be held Oct. 5–9 at Camp Hopewell near Oxford, Mississippi. The cost of the training will be covered by the bequest. Team leaders will need to commit to making at least three trips to Guatemala over the next three years, participants will be expected to cover their travel costs for those trips. We are looking for team leaders now, but we will also need people to participate in short-term mission trips to cultivate relationships and to install the systems. We anticipate that our short-term mission trips to Guatemala will resume in June 2022. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in serving as a team leader, please contact Rhoda Burns Passmore (Trinity Presbyterian Church) at rhodapassmore@gmail.com or 251-586-2235.
