News & Announcements:
Stewardship Campaign 2011 - The Stewardship, Budget and Personnel Committee has initiated the Stewardship Campaign for 2011 church year. A timeline has been established and an initial letter has been mailed to the church congregation. The letter summarized what the church committees, Deacons, and PW wish to accomplish in the coming year and what they have been working on in 2010.
The committees of the church are planning to present short summaries of their activities and upcoming projects as well as costs associated with these activities. These presentations to the congregation will start in October.
Please prayerfully keep the church costs in mind when you are drawing up your 2011 family budget.
Thank you!

- The Nominating Committee is looking for people to replace those Elders and Deacons completing their terms. We would like to ask all members to consider volunteer-ing for one of these positions. We know that some of you would like to step up to this challenge, and we’d like to know who you are. So, should you feel that God is leading you to serve in this capacity, please call Connie Fisher (578-8528) or Greg Dimler (587-8783). To learn the roles of Deacons and Elders, please refer to the recent Stewardship letter; they’ve put together a great summary of what each committee is responsible for. We look forward to hearing from you..
