Annual Chapel Bloodmobile
“Give the Gift of Life & Support Missions”
Monday, May 19, 2008 - 2:00 - 7:30 p.m. in the Family Life Center

The Chapel in North Canton is a member of the Aultman Blood Center. Our participation in quarterly bloodmobiles guarantees free blood replacement for EVERY MEMBER of our congregation and their immediate family, parents, and parents-in-law. If you are between 17 and 75 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and are healthy, you are eligible to donate.

Because this Bloodmobile is being held at The Chapel, we need volunteers!

Here’s how you can help:
Donate blood! Complete the postcard enclosed in today’s bulletin and place it in an offering box, or turn it in to the Welcome Center or church office. You may also mail it back to us (don’t forget the 26-cent postage).

Bake 2 to 3 dozen cookies and deliver them to the church before the blood drive starts.

Serve refreshments. You can schedule any time during the blood drive.

Take vital signs, if you’re a licensed RN, LPN or EMT worker.

Aultman’s Incentive Program will Benefit our Youth Missions Trips!
GOOD NEWS! If we are able to reach a goal of 80 blood donations, we qualify under Aultman’s “Communities that Care” program to receive $1,500 to apply to our youth missions trips to West Virginia and the Dominican Republic this summer! That’s free money with no strings attached! Please take the time to give. We need you!

These positions are also listed on the brochure.) .

Chapel Library

Our Chapel Library has an impressive selection of books, videos, DVDs and music CDs for all ages, by popular authors and artists. The Library is open on Sunday mornings and staffed with volunteers to help you. It’s located in the Main Lobby between ABF Classrooms 2 & 3. A handy book return box is placed just outside the Library door so you can return your books or tapes at any time. Come check it out! (Please check and see if you have any overdue Library items on your bookshelves at home that can be returned, or stop by the Library if you require an extension of time. Thank you!).

The Chapel’s Care Ministry vs. Medical Privacy Policies

Due to stricter privacy policies, hospitals and medical facilities are no longer contacting The Chapel to notify us when a Chapel member or attender has been admitted. So, in order to better minister to your needs during this time, please call the church office at (330) 494-3419 so we may pray with you and coordinate the details regarding your hospital admission and discharge. If it is an emergency, please have a friend or family member contact us. We really care and want to help.
