Memorials & Honor Giving
A memorial gift to our church is a contribution one makes in memory of someone who has passed. It is a way to say that person was important to us and will be missed. To give a memorial gift in another’s memory is to express the respect and love that continues beyond death. Memorial gifts do not always have to come at a person’s death. You can also honor someone who is having an anniversary, birthday or just to say thanks. Our Memorial Committee is dedicated to seeing that these funds are used specifically for the needs of our church. There are plaques in the Narthex to memorialize and honor those individuals. Please contact this Committee if you have questions or concerns.

The Sunday School Worship Team will meet on Wednesday, October 10^th @ 6:30 pm.  All are welcome, please feel free to join us!
