Rummage Sale - Sponsored by Ladies' Fellowship, this annual event provides income for Ladies' Fellowship's current projects, as well as remarkable fellowship. A wonderful by-product is the rummage sale cleans out people's closets!
Scrip Program - Available each Sunday between services, our scrip program offers an opportunity to contirbute to the church without any additional cost to you. Purchase any of over 100 vendor's coupons, and the church will receive a rebate. Watch soon for a listing of vendors in our area that participate in the scrip program.
A portion of the proceeds from the scrip program were recently used to update the "cry room" off the sanctuary as well as a generous donation to SS for the purchase of new curriculum.
