SERVICE SUNDAYS
We are adding a new dimension to Service Sundays by including service projects for individuals in the community. These could range from yard work to house cleaning to minor home repair and everything in between. We will be gathering requests for the next few weeks, and hope to have a full load in time for our August 29 Service Sunday. If you know someone we could serve in this way, please let us know.
Also, if you have any handy skills, and would be interested in coordinating a worksite for one of our Service Sundays, let us know. Please click the link below for Service Sunday forms, or contact Meredith Wende in the church office.
