A message about Gifts for Another Table:
We're off to a good start!  Let's continue to bring the following items for Regional Alternative School during November:  shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, lotion, diapers, Chapstick (all sizes including travel size -- many available at Dollar Tree/Dollar General).  Thanks to all those who have been bringing items.

Check In on Facebook while you are at church.  And at the One and All service feel free to use your device for social media, to share photos and thoughts about your worship experience as it happens.  

Make a new friend!  Greet a visitor.  Show folks around and help them with questions they might have.  Invite them to worship and/or to share fellowship over a cup of coffee or breakfast treat.  The bulletin is a great source of information for visitors, as is the Information Center.  Let's be a welcoming church!
