PAPERLESS JULY

There will be no worship guides during the month of July.  We will still print the weekend bulletin. We will also print out the service’s Scripture readings.

 

CHIEF RECEIPTS

June, July, and August Chief receipts DO NOT QUALIFY, so please do not put them in the box,  which is now located by the church office reception desk. Starting September 1, we will resume collection, and the money received will be earmarked for the church Social Welfare account, to help those who need gas money or help with other bills.  Thank you!

 

SAVE YOUR PLASTIC CAPS!

We are saving CLEAN plastic caps (any size, shape, or color) to possibly have a park bench on our church property.  Please bring them to the church office. Examples of caps: water bottles, milk jugs, sprays (oil, etc.), cleaning products, food products.  Thank you!
