“God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday – ELCA’s day of service – is happening on September 8. On that date we will worship together at 10am (with former music director, Shelbie Simmons, joining us), enjoy the last potluck of the season, then joyfully work on service projects together if you have time (note that some projects may take place before church).
Donation Requests:
- For Lovepacs: boxes of macaroni & cheese, 5-oz cans of tuna or chicken, and Campbell’s Chunky soup. Place donations in the shopping cart in the “Living Room.”
- For Letters Against Isolation: stationery or cheery notecards that would make a senior’s day. Look for the donation box in the Narthex.
- Aluminum cans can be placed by the west door. Your donation will support our 50th anniversary celebration.
Volunteers - If you would like to help, please add your name to the sign-up list online or in the Narthex.
