Weekly Update
Your Weekly Update
Our Annual Congregational Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 21st, immediately following our Reformed Service. All members are encouraged to attend.
In February our church will deliver meals to community shut-ins. Delivering Meals-On-Wheels takes about 30-45 minutes.
You may sign up for any amount of days. Maybe you prefer one day a week, for instance every Monday, or every day for a week or different days during the month.
Substitutes are available so don’t let the fact that you are going to be gone one time stop you from signing up. You pick up the meals at the hospital kitchen at 11:00am. This usually is done with a partner to make the job fun and faster. Meals are delivered every day of the week except Sunday.
Delivering Meals-On-Wheels to our community shut-ins is a rewarding experience and you will be glad you took part in it.
A calendar is located on an easel in the Narthex for you to sign up on, please include your cell phone number. If you have any questions, please contact Milt Nolting at 336-4336.
Thank You
Thank you to my church family for your prayers and phone calls as I have been recuperating at home from my surgery. And I loved receiving flowers! Thanks so much for caring! I’m sure my recovery was much faster with all of you reporting for duty.
