Online Giving
Online giving has been available to our congregation for a couple of
years. After several promotions to use the online option, it has been
decided that it is not a financially viable option for the church with only
one or two members using it. As of April 1, online giving will no longer
be available. If you have any questions, please contact the church
office. We thank those who utilized this program and we hope it will not
be inconvenient for you to change back to the former way of giving.

Fellowship Hall. All ladies are invited to attend.
