Happy 10th Birthday to our Yarnies! They will meet on Tues, Nov 12 at 6:00PM in Rm. 213 for a special evening of celebration.
Calling all men of the church! Our 8th Ave Men will meet on Mon, Nov 11 at 6:00PM in the FH for a hearty meal, fellowship & a short business meeting.

To be included in the church directory, complete this form and return it to the church office or drop it in the offering plate on Sunday morning.
We are in the planning stages of creating our new church directory. Our first step in this process will be for you to complete a “church directory form” and return it to the church office or drop it in the offering plate on Sunday. Deadline to submit your information is October 31!
You do not need to be a church member to be included. If you consider this your church home, we want you included!
All your contact information listed in the directory will be secure. Here is the link for how Instant Church Directory will secure your information: We take Security Seriously - Instant Church Directory
Once I receive all information needed, I will send an email with a link for you to submit a family photo or you can schedule a time with me to take your family photo at the church. The family photos do not have to be professionally taken photos. You can submit a fun family photo of your choice.
After receiving the photos, I will ensure all information is accurate and create the new church directory. Once it has been completed and proofed, everyone that is listed in the directory will receive an email that is available for download on your mobile iOS or Android, with the Instant Church Directory app. There will be an online version available as well. For those that do not have access to the app or online version, I will be happy to print you a directory by request. Only those in the directory will receive access to the mobile and online version of the directory.
Reminder! Deadline to submit your church directory information form is October 31.
