Support Shriners and Heifer by Donating Recyclables: Bag your soda cans and bottles and then put them in the corner of Riley Hall in the cardboard box with the big cow! We remove the tabs from the cans. The tabs are sent to the local Masons who turn the scrap metal into cash for the Shriners’ health projects. Funds from redeeming the cans are sent to Heifer Project to assist those in need throughout the world.
JOYS and CONCERNS: Please email the church office with your life changes so that we can lift you up in prayer.
