This is a list of interests and abilities a person is willing to share with our faith community. The Stewardship Committee is trying to make better use of our existing information. If you haven't filled one out or would like to update your information, please print a copy from the link below or pick up a blue form in the Church Office or in the Assembly Room. If you have questions, call Priscilla Baglio (637-5749) or Peggy Hale (637-4857). Church Information Form (doc) ~ ~ ~ Church Information Form (pdf) Job Jar: We all take pride in the appearance of our church building and grounds! But have you ever noticed some little job that needs to be done around the church, and wondered how to get it done, or who could get it done? Write down your suggestion and put it in the JOB JAR on the oak table in the Assembly Room. A list of jobs that need to be done will be drawn up and posted. Then, if you have some time to spend some day and want to do your church a good deed, or perhaps you have a merit badge requirement, or you find yourself at the church waiting for a child to finish an activity and you have nothing to do . . . you could tackle a job on the list. We would all appreciate it, and you will, too. - The Trustees UPPER ROOM and THESE DAYS devotional booklets are available on the table inside the front entrance. Providing FLOWERS for a Sunday service is a wonderful way to celebrate or remember special people or events. If you would like to provide the flowers for a Sunday service, please sign up on the Flower Chart outside the church office or call the office during the week. There are lots of Sundays available.
