Church Directory - Is YOUR Information Correct?
We are in the process of distributing an updated Church Directory. Before we do that, we want to make sure we have your correct and updated information? If you are not sure we do, on Sunday visit the HUB table and make any changes to your entry. If you are going to miss Sunday service, email the Office Administrator with the subject line: Updating my directory entry (make sure you include your last name). We hope to distribute the directory mid-Febuary. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
