Summer Children’s Church Volunteers Needed
Are you a Christian? Are you able to talk? That’s pretty much all it takes to be qualified for important service! Children’s Church is a quiet yet essential ministry of our church, helping children learn the word of God and allowing visitors with little ones the opportunity to hear God’s word, uninterrupted. We would love to have you volunteer to teach or help for one Sunday this summer. We are thankful for all the women and teens who serve the church in this ministry. Any men willing to serve in this capacity would also be greatly appreciated. If you are willing, please talk with Lynnette Killy.

Reminder: No Food or Drinks Outside of the Fellowship Hall
In an effort to maintain a clean building the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) has a policy that all food and drinks must be consumed inside the fellowship hall. Please help us ensure everyone is in compliance with this expectation by refraining from eating/drinking anything outside of the fellowship hall and by reminding visitors or others that may not be aware they are doing something against our rental agreement with the SDA. Thank you.
