This morning’s Coffee Hour is being hosted by Alexa Pirnie.
Our prayers are with all the people affected by the tornado.
We are collecting money for tornado relief. There are two baskets in the back of the sanctuary. We are also accepting donations of non-perishable food items and clothing for tornado relief. There is a box in the narthex for your generous gifts. Please give as you are able. We want to help those who have lost so much.
Tuesday Morning Bible Study: Our Study group meets on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30. Why not join us. We promise you’ll receive a rich blessing.

The church office needs your help! In order for us to get things out to you and the community around us in a timely fashion we must adhere to set deadlines. We are asking you to help us by taking note of information deadlines and getting things to us on time.
Attention all Board and Committee chairs: When meetings are canceled or rescheduled please make sure the church office is informed.
Please help us keep our bulletin boards current. If you post information please remove it from the bulletin board as soon as the event has passed.
