Due to a heating problem (or a lack there of) in the sanctuary last Sunday, we had no choice but to hold our worship service in Fellowship Hall. With everyone's patience and understanding it turned out to be a great day with 98 in attendance! A BIG THANK YOU to everyone: the leadership, staff and volunteers who pulled together and helped with the service and lunch, which also was a big success, we served over 80 church family and friends. And, we want to thank those who donated items to the Food Pantry...WOW what an amazing supply of food items and monetary gifts. Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!

The Deacons and ushers will be stationed at the sanctuary doors to receive your voluntary gifts as you leave worship this morning. The Deacons' Fund is used for those special times when our church family and people in the community need assistance.
