ORDERS are placed on the first Tuesday of each month.

Our Prayer Angel Ministry:  Each week, the prayer angel request box in the sanctuary is checked and emptied, but we recognize that with the colder weather, some will prefer catching the service online on Sunday morning and so the collection box may be emptier than it would be otherwise.  To that end, if you have a prayer request, you can send it by email to the church office.  Please use the subject line: PRAYER ANGEL REQUEST when you send your email, and it will be sure to get to the right place!
