Tithes and Offerings can be placed in the offering plates at the back of the sanctuary before Sunday morning worship and anytime in the black box outside of the secretary’s office labeled “Tithes and Offerings and Prayer Cards.”

Thank you! A big THANK YOU from the VBS committee for everyone who helped this week. Without volunteers, VBS doesn’t happen. Thank you to all of the    parents and grandparents who brought their kids and friends of their kids.  Praise the Lord for the things we couldn’t control and the things we could. We had  beautiful weather and great attendance! ~ Dana Selzer, Ally Chupp, & Angel Miller
