Gift Cards

The Sr. Youth Group is continuing their gift card fund raising. You can order gift cards on the 1st and 2nd Sunday’s of the month to stores like A&P, ACME, Home Depot, Barnes & Noble, Macy’s, Starbucks, Toys R Us and many more.

Your cards will be available for pick up on the 3rd Sunday of the month.

They are as good as cash and they make great gifts.

Communion Offerings

October’s, November’s & December’s communion offering will go toward hurricane relief. We know of two church families who have relatives who have lost their homes. The church where Dwayne Swanson, the son of the late Edna Swanson, attends has converted their education building into a shelter for eight families.

Our communion offerings will be used to assist these families.

Throughout Oct., Nov. & Dec. we will be collecting along with can goods for our local soup kitchen the following items for hurricane relief.

Men’s, women’s & children’s undergarments in all sizes; pacifiers, baby bottles, diapers, infant formula, baby wipes, Kleenex, toilet paper, school supplies, bath soap, hand sanitizers, disposable razors, first-aid supplies, lotion, face cream, deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes.

2006 Offering Envelopes

It is time to place our order for 2006 offering envelopes. Envelops are ordered for all active church families.

The use of offering envelopes is strictly up to the individual or family. However ordering envelopes for families that do not use them is poor stewardship on the part of the church.

All individuals and families who have not been using their envelopes are asked to please contact the church office by November 15th if you desire to continue to receive envelopes. If you do not contact the church office you will not receive offering envelopes in 2006.

This will not have any effect on your present church membership status nor will it change your membership number.

We appreciate your understanding and your assistance in this matter.

The Friday night 40 days of Community small group is collecting new and gently used (and clean) twin sized blankets, comforters and quilts, as well as electric and battery operated alarm clocks for Amandla’s Crossing. Please drop donations off at the Church Office. Thanks!
