Offering Envelopes |
In 2023, we moved away from purchasing official "Offering Envelopes" BUT you can use your own envelopes - just write your name and/or envelope number on the front.
Envelopes are also available at the front of the church every Sunday. You need only to place your name or envelope number on these envelopes (for tax receipt purposes).
Please contact Lori in the Office if you need assistance.
