The Prayer Request List is an ever-changing thing, but so very important! The prayer list will keep names for 30 days, after which they will be removed. Anyone may re-add a name at any time, and it will stay on the prayer list for another 30 days and may be repeated as many times as needed. This insures it is as up to date as possible.
~THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER~
ALSO: If you would like to be added to our text prayer chain, please see Sally Shattuck.
~~
Do you or a loved one need some help with something this season? Lawn Care, Grocery Shopping, Rides to/from Medical Appointments, etc.? If so, please contact your deacon so that we can get you the help you need.
Also: if you would like to volunteer to help with any of these needs within our congregation, please share your talents, desire, and availability to help with your deacon as well. No help is too small to someone in need. Thank You!

Do you have any technical talents in this ever-changing field? There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board to assist with broadcasting on Sunday mornings.
We would love to have you on board!

We are always looking for people to help us keep our altar prepared and ready for worship! If you would like to lend a hand, there is a schedule and sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. Thank You!
