click here to print out a form.
All forms and checks are due to the office by Sunday, April 7

When completing the form, you may choose to support local, national, or global chosen charities. Dedicate your gift in memory of or in honor of a loved one. Your dedication will be listed in our special keepsake insert given out on Easter morning worship. Thank you for your continued generous support of our church ministry.
