The Congregational Care Team thanks YOU

The Congregational Care team is thankful for all who helped deliver poinsettias in December to REACH members of our congregation. The positivity was overwhelming for both those who delivered and those who received. Deliveries were met with hugs, tears, and candy bars!

With every Christmas and Easter floral delivery we receive notes and phone calls expressing gratitude to our church for this gesture of love, fellowship, and community.



We will deliver Easter flowers toward the end of March with date and instructions publicized well in advance. Consider helping with this meaningful ministry.

Hygiene donations helped to fill over 100 bags!

The Local Missions Committee would like to thank all who donated small hygiene items in December. As a result of your generosity, over 100 bags were filled with basics such as soap, shampoo, dental supplies, etc. These have been delivered to Leslies House to be provided to the women in their shelter as well as the local transient population. These small items have a large impact in helping our displaced sisters maintain a level of dignity during trying situations. Thank you again.
