In the future if you do visit our church please remember to sign our Guest Book in the Narthex and/or fill out the white U.C.C. pew card and put it in the offering plate, so we will know you were here. We would especially like you to join us after each of the services - 8:30 & 10:00 -- for refreshments & fellowship in Lund Hall or outdoors (weather permitting). If you've come as a visitor oneday, we hope you will leave as a friend!
Some important items each of our weekly services offer:
Altar Flowers,
The flowers on the altar at each service are given by someone in memory of another.
Prayer Ministry,
Prayer requests may be written on the blue Prayer Cards and left in the offering plate or given to a Deacon. The Prayer Chain can be activated for immediate prayer concerns by calling Linda Onalfo (438-7858).
Assisted Hearing Equipment available in Sanctuary,
Ask a Deacon (with a blue name tag) or contact the Parish Nurse, Debbie Wein, to use the new assisted hearing units. Our audio system broadcasts the Sanctuary Sound to these units during services, concerts and events. This is now a permanent feature thanks to a generous donation. These portable units work with or without hearing aids, are light, small and discreet.
CD Ministry,
The CD Ministry records our weekly sermons. Please put a note in the CD Ministry mailbox with the date of the Sunday you would like to buy, or call Kathy Graham (431-3815).
