January 8 Meeting of all Boards and Exec Council 

Executive Council - 6:30 p.m.

Boards - 7:30 p.m.


Go ahead. Make someone’s day! Did you ever find yourself thinking that you should tell someone what a great job they did on their solo, or teaching a class, or preparing a meal? Have you missed seeing someone on Sunday morning and wanted to tell them that? Now, you can make someone’s day by sending a note of encouragement before you even leave church.

You will find note cards and envelopes in the pew-chair in front of you. Simply write your note and place the card in the envelope, seal it and write the person’s name on the front. The cards may be placed in the offering plate or left in Tina’s office. Each card will be addressed and sent on Monday morning. Let’s encourage each other. Make someone’s day!
