We have recently become aware that we may not have a complete list of birthdays and anniversaries of our regular attenders and their families. In an attempt to create an up-t0-date churchwide list of birthdays and anniversaries to be used in the weekly bulletins, we’ve created cards for you to pick up at the entrance to the sanctuary. Please write the names and birthdays and anniversaries (month and year) of yourself and your immediate family members and place the completed cards in the offering “church.” After collecting them for several weeks, we will compile a list. Thank you!
Our church is required to replace two members on the administrative board at the beginning of 2027. This does not require any particular skill set, but merely a devotion of a small amount of time and is an excellent way to serve your church. Everyone who attends is considered a member of our local congregation. If you have any questions or are interested in serving in this capacity, please let Pastor Dean or a current member of the board know. Current members are Bob Manz, Morgan Johnson, Shelby Lopez, Helen Emerine, Carol Reisner or Marcia Abbott.
