Annual Appeal Ingathering on This Sunday, November 6 |
During worship this Sunday, November 6, we will gather symbols of our financial intentions (FIT) for 2023. Everyone in attendance on-site will receive a sticker in the shape of a heart. We’ll have the opportunity to write on it something we are grateful for.
If you are not able to be on-site, email us what you’d like on the heart, and we’ll write it in for you. When the offering plate goes by, we’ll put our hearts in them, to be offered to God in thanksgiving. After the service, we’ll post our grateful hearts in the Upper Parish Hall.
