ONGOING NOTICES
SIDES PERSONS – We are looking for people to volunteer as sides persons.  A sides person hands out the books and bulletins and greets the people as they arrive for church.  They take up the offertory and after church; they stay and count the offering.  If this is a job you would like to do, please contact Brenda Morash at 876-2389.  The more volunteers we have the fewer times your name will appear on the roster.

Mike or Rev. Judie.  Thank you for your generosity
