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.

WE ARE RUNNING LOW ON ADULT MASKS!  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! 

WE’RE STILL LOOKING FOR YOUR STORIES  and/or memories about your time at ARC.  Please write your memories down and place them in the ‘church’ in the hallway under the trophy case on the way to coffee.  The deadline to contribute in Sunday, July 5.

LAST SUNDAY’S OFFERING:  General Fund - $8,475.00; Missions & Benevolences Fund - $200.00.

ONLINE GIVING is available through demottearc.com by clicking on the “Donate” link at the bottom of the home page.  You can set up a one-time gift or a recurring donation.  Thank you for how you support ARC financially.
