·    Video tapes are now available of our Sunday Morning Services, for the cost of $15.00. Contact Mickey Beals to place your order.

·    Remember the third (3^rd) Sunday of each month is pay your Pledge Sunday.

·   There are sign up sheets on the Ushers’ Table, please take few minutes and make your pledge.

·   We still have pews available for dedication in memory of a love one for the cost of $400.00. With Christmas fast approaching I know a lot of families like to remember love ones by placing Flowers and Reeves on the grave sites, as you know after the snow have melted your flowers and reeves will disappear and are gone with the wind, this year lets us make a change and leave our love ones with a lasting memory by having a pew dedicated in their memory.
