A quick heads up on an event happening tomorrow!

Sedgwick Village Library presents
“Renewal of a Landmark “- The restoration of the Sedgwick First Baptist Church
Wednesday, July 30, 6:00 pm- 7:00 pm
45 Main Street, Sedgwick

Join SBHS Church Restoration Project team members, Angela DeFinis, Chris Baker and Anne Dentino to hear an update on the
5-Stage Church Restoration project and our plans for the building’s future use. Stage 4 of this multi-year project is currently underway.
The presentation will include a Q & A and attendees will be invited to share their ideas for how the church can best serve the community. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to help us shape the future use of the building as a community space
Our thanks to the Sedgwick Village library for hosting this presentation. This is the third year that we have been invited to give a church restoration update to our community. We are thrilled to participate once again and we hope you all will join us!

As July is coming to a close, we only have a few more days to collect round-up donations in the CHANGE FOR THE GOOD program at the Blue Hill Co-op. Please shop at the Co-op over the next few days and “round up” for the SBHS.
We have heard from shoppers and have noticed ourselves that some of the cashiers do not ask customers to round up so please remind them that you would like to do so.
Keep in mind, you can add additional funds to any “round up” purchase. We learned from one of the cashiers that she had a customer who added $100 to his “roundup”! So please feel free to give as much as you want in these final days of our campaign.
Thank you for supporting this program. Every.”round up” helps us continue the church restoration!

For the month of July, SBHS is the recipient of donations made through ‘Change for the Good’ at the Blue Hill Co-op. We are focusing the donations towards the church restoration. When you check out at the co-op, ask your cashier to round your purchase up for ‘Change for the Good’. You can also make any size donation through the cashier, just let them know before your transaction is finalized. Thanks to the Blue Hill Co-op for creating this generous community program!❤️
