2 Tons! CAN do . . . .
This past week our church passed the 2 TON mark in recycled aluminum cans, an incredible 4,171 pounds of cans have been redeemed. All funds ($1,101.51) were deposited into the Building Fund. About 25% of the total comes from your drop-offs in the collection can outside of the gathering area. The rest of the cans are collected by the Can Crew alongside roadways, places that serve adult beverages and places where people like to fish! If you know of any other places that accumulate cans let the office know and we will come and pick them up.
CAN you think of any other ways we can generate additional funds for our new sanctuary?

Address Directories
Updated address directories of church attendees have been printed and are available for you to pick up in the Gathering Place. If you find they have all been taken, notify the office and more will be made available.

You are most welcome to join us on Thursday nights at 7 PM for rehearsals and then gather Sunday mornings shortly before our 8:15 am services - there is always a seat for you!! You will love our piano player - she is gifted and can make you laugh as well.
