Two Requests from Our Ministry of Fellowship
If you have get-well cards, condolence cards and encouragement cards that you no longer need, please put them in the basket on the table in the fellowship hall. The ministry’s new sender of cards, Rosalie Simoniello, will send them to church members/adherents on behalf of the entire congregation.
The ministry of fellowship is also collecting sample size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc. to be taken by anyone who needs these items. There is a basket on the table in the fellowship hall. For additional information, please see Alicia Weise.

Our Meals Together
One of the beautiful characteristics of the early church is that they eagerly shared what they had with one another (see Acts 4:32). in that spirit, we encourge all who are able to bring food (or ingredients) to share with others at our three weekly meals: Sunday fellowship hour, Sunday supper and Thursday supper. and Thursday supper
