It's Happening at St. Giles
HELP TODAY, 3/13

THIS SATURDAY, 3/16
(9 AM-NOON)
On Easter Sunday lots of visitors come to church. So, TODAY & SATURDAY we’ll be “sprucing up” the sanctuary. If you can help come on! Or call Marsha Hitchcock at 804-592-5017 or marshanwalt@gmail.com.
For His Glory
 We are launched in our Capital Campaign, and commitments and gifts are coming in. Our quest is to assure that we will have a place to worship God on into the future, and music to fill that place with praise. You've previously received full information on the Campaign and a Commitment Card for you to consider how you’ll give.

The organ console pictured here is like the one we anticipate having soon as we respond to For His Glory. Dennis Flynn secured this picture and wrote up a detailed account of the organ’s history and its new possibilities. Those detailed reports are available to you at the church.
What should you do with your commitment card? You can put it in the offering plate, bring it by the office, or mail it in. If you didn’t get one, or need another, call the church office and we’ll get one to you.

Check out our For His Glory thermometer, marking our advance in this quest. And let’s all be praying.
