Committed to Serve—You are Making a Difference
Listen to Jack Cotton’s “I make an Eternal Difference” presentation at last Sunday’s 10 am service. He challenged us to do three things: Imagine what it will be like for you to make an eternal difference in this church campus, Pray about what it will be like to make an eternal difference here, Listen to the details of what even a minor contribution from your estate plan to this church can do to make a difference.
Our Endowment Fund was established during the ministry of Pastor Blaine Taylor, our current Pastor’s father, and has benefited our church many times over in the years since.
We sit in an air-conditioned sanctuary thanks to the Fund. We added our beautiful solarium, the elevator, the balcony, additional space in our sanctuary, a choir room and so much more. We have put two roofs on the church and repaired our organ. We used the funds to enhance our audio-visual experience including the streaming of our services that those who cannot be present for worship can enjoy.
We have brochures and much more information to share. Please call Dick Weir at, 774-487-1450 or email him at grichweir@gmail.com for more info.
Altar Flowers. If you would like to donate flowers for the altar, please sign up on the bulletin board by the restroom in the solarium and fill out a form for Jane and leave it on her desk. The arrangements are $50.00. You may leave a check with your order or drop one off when convenient.
