The Outreach and Service Ministry is working at the creation of a “Picture
Wall” on the bulletin board containing pictures of the families and individuals
who attend our congregation. If you
would like to contribute a picture of your family, that would be great. Committee members will also be taking
pictures over the next weeks. We don’t
want to miss anybody, so be sure to let us know if your picture doesn’t get
