Many, Many Thanks to everyone who donated to, worked at, and came to the Hands and Harvest Craft Festival on Saturday, October 24th!! A great job was done by everyone involved and, as a result, $1,233.00 was raised for Sheba's children at the orphanage. There were many nice comments made related to the friendliness and efforts of our congregation by both the attendees and vendors. A wonderful Christian witness!! Thank you all!

Portals Of Prayer are available for anyone who would like to take one. A donation of $1.00 would be greatly appreciated to help cover the cost.

However, if you would like to receive a copy, contact Deb Martin before November 15th and you can subscribe through the church and save a little.

Currently we have 2010 points with labels, but are trying for more in order to redeem them for needed school items. 350 pts “buys” large crayons, a soft 12 ft balance beam is 5950 pts, a Lego set is 3,350 pts. Gym scooters are 750 pts. A new floor mat is 11,300 points. Please help by saving, cutting, and bringing in your labels.
