Dear Church Family, November /December 2020
It is time once again to reflect on the blessings of our Pastoral staff and church support staff and give a love gift to show our appreciation for all they do through the year. All year long, our staff sacrificially gives of their time, of their families, and of their resources ministering to each of us.
It is our opportunity to share during the Christmas season the gifts of the Magi by supporting and showing our love and appreciation for all they do.
Place your offering in the offering box or get it to the church office by December 9th. We will present it to the support staff on December 13th.
Thank you for blessing our Pastors and church staff.
