Lead Hymns: Once a Month Opportunity
We are starting a rotation for first service hymn leaders and would love your help. No experience needed—just a willing heart! Lead a hymn, encourage the congregation, and share the joy of worship. Not interested in leading but want to share your talents? Try performing special music! Interested? Contact our worship coordinator!

Suggested Blessing Box donations are: canned or dried fruit, powdered milk, canned or pouched meats and fish, ramen noodles, jelly, pancake mix, syrup, chunky soaps, saltine crackers, laundry detergent, shampoo, and toothbrushes.
Bottles for Books
Our congregation has had a book outreach program for 8 years. Each year, every child in ECSE, preschool, and kindergarten receives a book 7 times and first grade gets a book 3 times a year. We will give away over 1200 books this year! Please take a bottle from the table in the narthex and fill it with spare change, or even with paper money. When it is full, simply return it to the church. Thank you for your “above and beyond” giving to this outreach program!
Mission Candle
The mission candle is available to be lit for the glory of God and can honor a person or event, which would be listed in our bulletin. An example: “The mission candle is lit for the glory of God in loving memory of “_______.” This is a great way to support our missions endeavors! We are looking for sponsorships of any amount for the weekly Radio Broadcast, and your loving offering can also be designated for the Benevolence Fund, Blessing Box, or Soup & More.
