CHURCH ALTAR CARE: Volunteers are needed to sign up for Altar Care for the months of March thru December 2025. This is basically setting up and cleaning up communion on the 1st & 3rd Sundays (or 3 times if there is a 5th Sunday) and making certain the Altar Paraments are the correct color based on the church calendar that is in the red binder in the Sacristy. There is a signup sheet on the far right of the Narthex Bulletin Board and you will receive a postcard from the church as a reminder of the month you signed up for.
Should you have any questions or need some clarification as to how this should be done, please speak contact Marcia Dow. Thank you for your willingness to Serve the Lord and the Church in this way!
LWML SHOE DRIVE: During the month of January, the LWML will be collecting new or gently worn shoes for men, women and children. These shoes are repurposed to help families in developing countries. Please band pairs together either by using rubberbands or with strong cord or twine or tie the shoe laces together. Perhaps you could request your family members or friends participate. A box will be provided in the narthex. Thanking you in advance.
SAVE THOSE ‘BEST CHOICE’ LABELS: LWML ask that you continue to save your Best Choice product labels and place them in the box provided in the narthex.
