Deacons’ Corner - August 2020

Please prayerfully consider a donation to the Deacons Fund.  Our funds are solely dependent upon the congregation’s generosity.  Envelopes are available the first Sunday of each month in the bulletin or in the pew backs.  Additionally, if you would like to donate diapers for the Open Door Pantry, you can drop them off in the church office (Please label for “Deacons”) or give to Marla Richardson.  The Deacons greatly appreciate your continued support.
