Church Service Canceled

Posted in Announcements, Deacons, Outreach at 8:30 am

Due to inclement weather, Pastor Dan and the Deacons have decided to cancel today’s church service. The Deacons are still planning to gather around 4pm to organize the Christmas food baskets. If the weather becomes better and you haven’t yet dropped off your food donations, the Deacons would appreciate it if you could sometime during the early afternoon.

We are continuing to collect items for our basket of warmth.  Please bring in new hats, scarves, mittens and gloves for women and children.  All donations are going to the Women’s Resource Cednter so that we may provide warmth to those in need this winter.  The 3rd and 4th grade classes, along with help from the kindergarten and 7th and 8th grade classes, have made two fleece blankets for the Center.  our kids are learning first hand what it means to give to others!  We will continue to collect these items through February.
