weekends very close together, costs can be prohibitive for
many families. Your support will help many of them attend
both weekends

Hymnals- There are twenty (20) Journeysong hymnals scattered around in the pews, which have no nameplates in them. This means we would love to have twenty more names and donations of $20 each so we can remedy this situation! Get information (names of donor and honoree or deceased) and donation into the office or to Barbara Kurtz at your earliest convenience.
The annual Baby bottle boomerang program is underway!
Pick up a baby bottle and fill it with your loose change and
