Nursery: We offer babysitting services as way to show visiting families we are a welcoming and supportive church for all ages of children. If you can help meet this goal by being an "on call" babysitter, please sign up in the vestry and Janet Cook will contact you.
Donate Your Scrap Metal!: If you have metal items you no longer want, please donate them to the Thrift Shop in Riley Hall. Items include anything iron, brass, copper, steel, pewter, aluminum, white iron, silver plated objects, and so forth. Old jewelry is also welcome!
Two For One! Support Shriners and Heifer by Donating Recyclables: Bag the soda cans and bottles from your summer parties...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.
