NOTES TO THE CLERGY – Please use the “A Note to the Clergy” forms which are in the back of the church whenever you have news, prayer requests, etc. to communicate to the minister, also please put your name on it so that we can get in touch with you if we have questions. It is hard remembering everything we are told after a service, as well as who told us what. If there are “to dos”– – this is helpful.
