- Attention all Graduates – As we usually do in June, we would like to honor all those who are graduating this year. Be it from high school, college (any degree), trade school, or anything else, we would like to recognize this accomplishment. If you have a graduate in your family, or if you are a graduate, please let the office know. Tell us where the person is graduating from, with what degree, if that is applicable, and what the graduate’s plans are for the future. Sent the information to the office email. Thanks
- Several ushers are needed to serve at the Sunday Services for June/July/August. This opportunity could lead to additional service in the Fall if desired. No experience necessary. Youth of confirmation age or older are certainly welcome. You will work with 2 other ushers who will help you learn the duties. You would end up serving about once a month. If interested in volunteering to serve your church, contact Bonnie in the church office. Karen R.
