Anyone Who Ever Brought a Potluck Dish
When we have potlucks here at the church and folks bring covered dishes.. sometimes those ”dishes” get left here at the church. There is now quite a collection of dishes pots/pans/platters etc that do not belong to the kitchen. So PLEASE when you get a chance, IF you have brought dishes in the past and think you MIGHT have something down there, please check it and take it home. THANKS !!
Entertainment Books are Still On Sale !!
We will be selling “Entertainment Books” Sunday after the service, and each Sunday following while supplies last. Books are $20, and our profit is $4 per book. After selling 51 books, our profit will be $10/book. These are a great value for dining out (casual & fine dining), automotive services, theme park discount, and many, many more discounts. So as we help you to save money, you can help us to raise some funds. Make sure to get yours ~
