We ask that any and all Announcements that need to be in the Newsletter/Bulletin and those that are to be made off the pulpit Sunday morning are in to the office and Rev. Étienne by 9am Thursday morning. This provides us with sufficient time to ensure that they are placed where they need to be and that sufficient time is set aside Sunday during the service. Emergencies or illness is always the exception. Thank you for your assistance.
