As many of you know the Remind App which allows us to send messages to church members has been down for a while. Mrs. Sheron is going to try to work on it in a couple of weeks. If you would like to get messages from the church, please tear off the bottom of the page that was printed in the August 31st bulletin with your name and cell number on it and put it in the offering plate. Thank you for your help.
Attention parents: There are Children's Devotional books in the old kitchen/ fellowship hall area.
If church members would like to have one of the older hymnals that used to be in old sanctuary, please see Caleb or a Music Committee member. The Music Committee members are Garrett Douglas, Connie Hitt &Sarah Matheny. The rest will be donated to another church. The hymnals are on a table in the hallway in the main building.
