Thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets for the quilt provided by Family Service. Proceeds will be used to replenish our quilting supplies, with the balance going to a church in Texas that is working with Muslim women to teach them sewing and quilting. The winner of the quilt was Randy Timm and $155 was raised during this project.

Congregational Care Cards are now available and have been placed in the pews. If you or someone you know from the congregation needs meals provided due to illness or surgery, or if someone needs a visit or transportation provided, please fill out the card in the pew rack, place it in the offering plate, and either an elder or Human Care Board member will take action to help out. Thank you!
