OCT. 24TH-25TH

We are excited to announce our Car Raffle which kicks off this week-end. We have a beautiful new Yaris parked outside the Church for all to look at. This will be the model we will be raffling off at the Pastor's Award dinner at the end of Jan. The tickets are $2 each and we have books of 12 tickets for $20. We are asking each family to sell at least one book to help us raise the needed funds. At this time I would like to ask the Ushers to hand out books of tickets to those who raise their hands. Thank you for your support.

   

We will be having a Senior Court this year- this is open to anyone 60yrs or older!!! We would ask each of you to give the credit for your book to the candidate you would like to see win. If you would like to be a candidate, please go to the table by the car and sign up today.

 

Please bring your donations for the SHARE Boutique on Nov. 1 to the table in the parking lot. The SHARE ministry also needs 160 sandwiches for our guests on Sat. Oct. 31.  Please contact Margie.
