OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
HOMEMADE MASKS AVAILABLE: We've placed baskets in the front entrance (door #8) with homemade masks for adults and children. They are free to take for anyone who needs them. If you or someone you know in the community is in need, please feel free to share! Masks are available to pick up Monday thru Friday from 9:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
HOMEMADE MASKS WELCOME! If you can make them and donate, please do! We would like to keep each basket full so that no one walks away empty handed. We have them specified in categories of adult, child, adult with glasses and child with glasses. People with glasses tend to have them fog up while wearing a mask. The masks that are better fitted with a pipe cleaner inserted at the top help to prevent this issue. You can drop them off during the hours stated above. We greatly appreciate any donations we receive!
IF YOU HAVE someone graduating this year from college, high school or eighth grade, please contact the church office with his or her name and school. High School Seniors, make sure you turn in the questionnaire that was mailed to you along with a senior picture by Wednesday, May 27 to the church office.
DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY of the COVID pandemic, VBS for 2020 has been cancelled. This was a hard decision as we know many children look forward to this event and many teens and adults enjoy volunteering. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to when we can safely hold VBS again.
