Beautiful Beloveds,
This Sunday you’re in for a treat. Our District Superintendent will be preaching our 8:30 worship premiere on Facebook and YouTube. Then at 11am, Ed Deyton will be leading our Sunday morning worshipful engagement. Food for the soul, all morning long!
See you soon, from my screen to yours.
Peace,
Heather
**Why do we have to register for church events?
I’m so glad you asked. Registering for events helps us pick the best location to meet, based on how many are attending. Registering also helps us in the case that there is some exposure to COVID-19. It allows us to notify all who may have come in contact. Please register for any in-person events. Hopefully in October we can offer a “monthly” registration option, so you don’t have to fill out a new form each and every Sunday.

Arts and Crafts, Games and Puzzles, Books, Tub Time, Barbies and Dolls, Matchbox Cars, Superheroes and Movies to name a few.
Baskets for Teens
Teens enjoy Gift Cards. Some ideas are, Old Navy, Kohl’s, Target, Gas Cards, Dunkin Donut, Amazon, Best Buy to name a few. Also girls like bath and spa products.
These are some general ideas to get you started but of course you can your ideas are always welcome. If you need help with what to donate please call either Sue DeMartino or Ellie Eaton we are more than willing to help you out with suggestions.
