Change Service Requested

Change for Change Everyone is encouraged to bring their loose change to worship the first Sunday each month. In Sep-tember that will be Sunday 09/02/18. The money collected in 2018 will go towards “Pennies for Po-sho” who is the sponsor organization for the group Ugandan Thunder that we hosted in September. This group touched many of our hearts and we continue to want to help. During the Time with Youth on that Sunday, we will pass the tin buckets and collect loose change to go towards a mission that we as a church family have a personal connec-tion to. In August we collected $140.03!!
