WELCOME
WELCOME in the name of the Lord! We thank God for your presence among us and during this Lenten season, we praise God for his righteous Son, who perfectly kept all of God's commandments for us and paid the full price of our disobedience. May our hearts be filled with Christ's spirit of obedience as we give Him all the praise and glory for our lives. |

| The Trustees and Admin Board have approved a proposal to create a permanent Endowment Fund Committee in accordance with 2533 of the Discipline to receive, administer, and invest bequests, trusts, and trust funds in such cases where the donor has designated the endowment committee or church to receive, administer, or invest the same. To carry out this proposal we're seeking 3-5 volunteers to serve as committee members. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone with interest in developing a stewardship program for our church. The committee would meet approximately four to six times a year to administer those bequeaths already given to the church and to develop a gift giving program for the future geared to meet the needs of the church and it's members. Those interested please contact Larry Speer. |
