Thank You!  Thanks to those who have helped so far by bringing in coffee, children’s snacks, or paper products.  These are a great help to the church!  We will post monthly what our current needs are so that you will know what to bring in.  Currently we are need of Matzo bread, grape juice, and communion cups for communion (sold at Christianbook.com).  Please continue to bring in your own plates etc. for church dinners and travel mugs for coffee if possible. Snacks are always appreciated on the snack table or for Sunday School!
