Bits and Pieces:
Thank you Dave Riemer for doing all the mowing and weed whacking during the little spurt of nice weather we had. That was a big job ~ it looks great. (Sally helped too!)
Annette Olsen was working on weeding the flower beds again. The deer keep the trimming down…
Our Daily Bread for Sept - Nov is on the table by the elevator. Christ in Our Home should be coming as well.
If you haven't received any of the church emailing and you would like to, please let the office know. It's another tool to keep the congregation in touch.
Remember, you
can find Pastor Al's sermons posted every Monday on the web under Al's Page.
This announcement page is posted under Weekly E-News. While visiting the site,
check out the new photos ~ thanks to Carolyn Hurtt for taking pictures at the
church picnic and sharing them!
We are still looking for help in setting up our own web site.
