Many children walk to and from school without suitable winter coats. Please help us help them by donating your usable winter coats. They are most in need of large and extra large sizes and please, no red or blue. You can bring jackets to the church office during regular business hours; or you can bring them on the 19th, when we will be hanging them on a clothes line in front of the church.
The Mission Committee thanks your for your help.

GET READY TO VOTE!!!

On October 19th, we will host a church wide luncheon followed by a discussion of the November ballot propositions. A representative from the League of Women Voters will be on hand to help
