Annual Year-End Giving Statements!
Keep an eye on your inbox! Your Annual Year-End Giving Statement was emailed yesterday.
Everyone who has given more than $250.00 during the calendar year 2025 to the church via any method will receive a giving statement from Push Pay (ACH, Credit Card, Venmo, Check, Cash etc). The email once received from Push Pay can only be opened directly from the email for 14 days. This is a security feature.
After that, you will need to see Beth Bosio. It is very important that you open this email and print your statement immediately as our contract with Push Pay expires on 1.31.2026 and it may be very difficult to obtain this information as a reprint.
If you do not have access to a printer or have trouble with this kind of computer maneuver, please see Beth at church or call her for a manual print out before January 31, 2026.
For those of you that gave gifts to the church via Servant Keeper in December of 2025, you will also get a separate statement from Servant Keeper later in January.
Important Notes!
Looking for someone who could use a Merlin Enhanced Vision Reader.
If interested, please contact Pastor Scott for more information.

You do not have to audition or be perfect at reading a musical score. You just need a love of singing and a desire to touch and change people's lives!
We rehearse on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:00 in the Nave.
We will be focusing on beautiful music to share for the Seasons of Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter.
Please email Kenda Meyer, Chancel Choir Director if you need more information or have specific questions.
This is a great group of people who love to sing and also enjoy social outings together! It's not often you get to sing with a choir of this size. We would love to have you!

In February, we invite you to share a little love through our Hugs for Kids collection.
