BIBLICAL CITIZENSHIP CONTINUES... But with a new "bent."  We are working   on adding new information, new footage, removing some of the repetition, and digging deeper into our American Heritage.  We have four Thursdays remaining.                   You have a right to learn about your heritage and, thank God, there are no locks on             our church doors!  Come join us Thursday at 5:30 p.m. No need to sign up.  Just come.

A decision needs to be made as to whether it is feasible to advertise for a new bell director based on the number of players that we might have.  Since some ringers are not coming back in the fall, we need to know if there are any new people interested in playing bells.  We are willing to change the practice time from 4:00 to 6:30 on a Tuesday evening if it would open up more opportunities for new ringers.  If you have ever even remotely considered joining, now is the time to speak up so we know whether or not to put out a search for a new director. You can let Pastor Keith, Robin Dower or Barb Kriston know if you are interested as soon as possible so a decision can be made.  

    Special Thank you to Pastor Rob and Pastor Keith for the visits and the cards, phone 

    calls and visits from the congregation.  Blessings, Sheila Swanger
