Blank vouchers and cash envelopes have been moved to the drawer directly below the new Treasurer’s Mailbox.

Members Meeting Next Sunday The agenda for our quarterly members meeting is: 1) Review and approve previous meeting minutes. 2) Letter from LMC. 3) Update on our 501c3 application. 4) Review the Elder Selection Process. 5) How do we decide when a particular ministry is over? 6) Any time-sensitive items not already on the agenda.  Non-members are welcome to attend.

Tea Time! Some of the ladies of our church would love to host a tea party for the girls of the church! Beth has graciously offered her barn and her tea party expertise, but we need volunteers to help host, provide refreshments, and make the event special. If you’d like to help, please contact Jessica Kimble for more information!

God is great and God is good! Thank you for your prayers and concerns on my recent heart procedure. The procedure went well and the doctors were pleased. The recovery should be minimal.
