Do You Have a 
Volunteer’s Heart?
 

Volunteers are needed to do simple non-computer tasks in our church office.

Can you give just one hour per week-only four hours per month?

Even four people donating just one hour per month can have a remarkable effect.

                                         Please consider giving a small donation of time-you will make a BIG Difference!

“Pay it Forward” Stories ! 
 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” ~ John 13: 35
Our own James Crussell & Julie Blanton
 got together last week at church to bake communion bread.
James is 13 years old, and already knows what profession he hopes to pursue later in life! Wishing to be a chef, he especially enjoys baking bread.
 
More interesting facts about James:
he has two pets at home, a dog & a cat; his favorite subject in school is math; his favorite person who inspires him is his grandmother.
 
Many thanks to James for helping to bake bread for the congregation.
