Mission Opportunity The Mission Committee will be collecting English dictionaries for the next few months for the people of Sierra Leone. John and Pat Macdonald will make arrangements for the dictionaries to be distributed. Dictionaries can be new or used - but if used, preferably dictionaries published from the year 2000 to present. The dictionaries can be hardcover or paperback, and children's dictionaries are also needed. There is a box in the fellowship hall where donations can be placed. If you have questions, you can contact Kendra Newcombe at 548-2762 or email her at kenewcombe@gmail.com Newsletter via E-mail & Save
The Newlsetter here at the church is currently being distributed in three ways. Some folks receive it by mail, some by email and others receive it at church. Evey newsletter the office is able to send via email, saves the church publication costs in paper, ink, copying and postage. Plus, you can also save trees. If you are currently receiving the newsletter by mail, or at church, and you would like to help defray the cost by receiving it by email - please notify the office, and include your email address to insure that it is in our database.
Fellowship Hour Ministry
The Fellowship Committee needs you!! They are looking for folks who would be willing to sign up to make coffee and provide light snacks between worship as well as cleanup after. For more details, please speak to Becky Vosburgh.
