The Deacons have announced that next Sunday (During the morning worship) a love offering will be taken to benefit Jackie Smith (Joyce William's daughter). It's customary for such special offerings to remain "open" for 2 weeks.

Last Sun. the Board approved the purchase of a new organ. We appreciate all who have donated to the Organ Fund over the years (Many in honor or memory of loved ones).
