The Nursery Team hopes to find additional assistance through the end of this year. We’ve been blessed to see our Nursery grow and need at least 2 adults and 1-2 teen helpers per Sunday. Sign up today using the link below.

We want to clarify recent concerns regarding the financial information displayed in Realm. Please note that Realm is currently being used as an information and communication tool, not for managing our financial records.

When individuals began giving to the church, we implemented a separate financial management system to ensure accuracy and consistency. Transferring this data into Realm mid-year would have been too time-consuming and disruptive, so we chose to maintain the existing system for the remainder of the year.

As a result, you will receive accurate statements of your 2025 giving in January. Beginning in the new year, we will transition our financial management system to Realm. From that point forward, you will be able to view your individual contribution information in Realm.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Blessings,

CLT

PS- If you’ve not yet created your REALM account,it’s never too late! Contact the office for assistance and we’ll be glad to help you get connected.
