Back to Busy Fall Schedules Where did summer go? We all seem to be coming back to our post sum-
mer vacation routines. I know we are all busy. The office is into our very busy season (The weeks between
September and Easter.) Church and Group leaders, please
help me by, checking your mailboxes every time you are in the building. Remember to get your announce-
ment items (word documents please) into me by NOON, Wednesday if you want it in Sunday announcements.
Please Remember, space is at a pre-mium. Short blurbs containing the
event, date, time and who to contact are much better than large articles
filled with flowery extra prose. Church groups that want to hold an
event must go through Common Table (Meetings 1st Thursday of the month) in order to get placed on the calendar. Private functions such as parties, meetings for outside groups etc., must have an approved building
use form. Your new Church directory is a great
resource for all these things and more. Thank you. Happy Fall, Y’all.
Hugs, Vanessa
