Congratulations!
New Tile Floor Coming!
Thank you for your generosity for the new tile floor for the foyer/hallways!
This tile is on display in the Adult classroom, and we are hoping to raise
about $12,000 for this improvement project. So far we’ve raised over
$9,190, but there are more envelopes in the foyer if you would like to con-
tribute! We will install the tile the week
of October 16th - 20th (church activi-
ties will be on break that week.)
Church T-Shirts
We will be ordering more of our
church T-Shirts soon. Please sign up
in the foyer if you want to purchase
one! They are $10/each, and you
can put your check in the offering
plate with a note.
Paint & Piňot
