STEWARDSHIP/FINANCE TEAM would like to have a fall fund raiser to help with the church finances. If you have any suggestions or ideas please notify the church office, Pastor Mike, Cathy Wallace or any member of the team.
THE CHANCEL CHOIR will resume practices on Wed., Sept. 1st at 7:30 P.M. When the book of Acts (see 16:25-26) reports that Paul and Silas sang in the Philippian jail at midnight, it doesn’t record whether they were basses or tenors. It doesn’t even report if they sang on key. It simply says they sang. And as they sang, there was an earthquake and the prison doors were opened. Many of life’s doors open more easily when we sing. So why not open some doors by joining the choir? Our first Sunday to sing is planned for Sept.12th.
