2024 Plan for Giving
Take a little time with the Plan for Giving form. We have more copies at church, or you can request one by mail. One side is set up for regular giving with checks and envelopes mailed to your home. The other side is a form to sign-up, renew or revise your automatic Electronic Fund Transfer. It is a way to contribute that saves the congregation the cost of mail. It’s safe, regular, much easier for our volunteer financial secretary, and assures that your gift comes to church no matter where you are!
The Council hosts brunch for EveryOne on Sunday, following 10am worship. Special hospitality and kid’s crafts.
