NEW BULLETIN FORMAT
Starting this Sunday, September 30, you will see a new trial format for our service bulletins. Both the 8:00 and 10:30 bulletins will be printed in one single booklet.
The content of each service liturgy remains the same; the paper size is different, and new user-friendly content is added
in keeping with the new
Invite, Welcome, Connect
strategy recently introduced by Shannon Lancaster.
Advantages of the new format include a larger type size throughout, which will surely be welcomed by everyone. The new booklet
size is the same as the current bulletin for 8:00, which is easier to "juggle" with the prayer book and hymnal. Design and editing are simplified, automated assembly means no human hands are needed to fold or staple, and eliminating the use of larger paper will make production more economical.
Blessings,
-Jessee+

ABOUT THE INCOME SPIKES:
Income and expense numbers in the chart above do include ALL donations and pass-thru amounts, such as those designated for Capital Campaign, Music Fund, Reading Camp, Food Pantry, etc., which accounts for large spikes on the graphs. The income spike shown in August 2018 is due to a Line of Credit Loan for $20,000 which was incurred on 8/17/18 to carry us through the coming months. This precaution is mainly due to very high maintenance costs this year. Monthly expenses are recorded only at the end of each month, calculated as a weekly average.

Yes,
we are still looking for Coffee Hour hosts and helpers!
Do you have a team, group, family or partner who could bring in a few light/simple snacks, and/or help serve and clean up, for our important time of fellowship after the 10:30 service on Sunday? If you would like to help with Coffee Hour, please sign up on the printed sheet on the office window (or contact Jan Stevens - see below). The coffee itself is provided by the Men's Club, and vestry members have agreed to pitch in on Sundays when no one else is scheduled, but we encourage everyone to share in this ministry as you are able.
- Jan Stevens is our Hospitality Coordinator - contact her by email at jstevens5@aol.com to discuss Coffee Hour questions, needs and procedures. If you can bring treats but need a helper, or vice versa, Jan can help you team up!
