They will meet at the church to start decorating on November 24 immediately following the clean-up from the Church/Community Thanksgiving dinner. Available on the credenza are the Church Officer Nomination forms. Please consider who among our members you might nominate for service, or you may nominate yourself. Completed forms may be placed in the collection plate or turned into the office. The grand piano in the sanctuary has been moved onto the chancel to even out the volume throughout the sanctuary, shorten the travel time for Glenna when moving from piano to organ, and allow Paul Smith to lead and accompany the Praise Team in the choir loft rather than upfront. Basically, it brings all our musicians and instruments closer together. Thank you for your ongoing support of our music ministry. Please let Pastor Dave, Judy Lewis (Worship chair) or Paul Smith (Music Director) know if you have any questions or concerns.
