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.
RECTOR’S OFFICE MEMORIALS – Memorial donations towards the construction costs of the Rector’s office are now being received. Donations in the amount of $110.00 ($100 plus $10 engraving) will allow contributors to place a memorial on a plaque to be located outside the office. There are twenty-four spaces for memorials. Once all spaces have been filled we will dedicate the office in memory of those identified on the plaque. If you wish to make a donation, please see either Rev. Mike or Rev. Judie. Thank you for your generosity
PWRDF; There are memorial cards for the Primates Fund on the table at the back of the church. They are self explanatory and a worthwhile way of remembering friends or relatives as this fund assists people around the world.
