We had 29 Treasure Seekers who had a wonderful time finding their daily treasure and learning about God’s promise! Many pats on the back to the 22 adult church volunteers. They used their talents as Center leaders, guides, artists, and fed us through our journey. THANK YOU! We also thank the 10 youth who pitched in and helped in many ways! GREAT JOB! -Jeanne & Michelle

OLD CHAIRS! FREE CHAIRS! Remember our old trusty wooden chairs that we have used for so many years? They have been replaced and have been removed from the Fellowship Hall to Sunday School rooms and to the old Parsonage.

Simply contact the office at 868-7787, or call David West at 232-7756 during church hours.
THANK YOU FOR TREASURING MEMORIES! Thanks to everyone who purchased a souvenir of the marble altar. Our beautiful marble altar had to be removed in the renovation, but it certainly did not go to waste. Thanks to Frank and Pat Porter for working with the remnants and turning them into some beautiful keepsakes of the past in the life of our church family. Donations toward this project went toward the Grand Piano Fund and totaled approximately $2,019!
STAINED-GLASS WINDOW PROJECT IS COMPLETE! While the rest of us may have been cooling off in air-conditioned buildings, we had a busy crew of devoted members working in the HEAT to lovingly and carefully haul the remnants of the old stained glass from the sanctuary into the old parsonage. Then there was sorting, removing the red crosses that could be saved, distributing, etc., HOURS of hard work for dedicated volunteers! We APPRECIATE and THANK each and every one of the volunteers! It was a BIG JOB! THANKS to all who donated money for their piece of the glass. Approximately $812 was raised for the Building Fund.
PARSONAGE FURNITURE FOR SALE! We may have something you need! We need to finish clearing out the old parsonage! There is a Dining Room set (table and six chairs) for sale for an estimated $600 and a Bedroom set (2 twin beds and a dresser) for an estimated $400. Interested?
