and can designate whether they could serve Sundays or Wednesdays (or both) of
the month. Please contact Cari Hercamp

to very limited usage, our church nursery will no longer be staffed; however,
parents are encouraged to be considerate of their fellow worshipers and use the
kindergarten room in school if their child becomes restless and needs a break
from the worship service. Ushers are
always available for any assistance needed.

Our 2016 dues are now due – a special envelope is provided in your
offering box.
