Interest Meeting for Hurricane Harvey Clean-Up Team Sunday, October 1st in the Chapel After Morning Worship Service We are looking to put together a team of people who are interested and available to take a trip in mid to late October at your own expense. The work that needs to be done is called a mud-out and does not require training, but does require labor. Those who volunteer to go will lodge in a church and be working with a trained leader who is already in place in the affected area. If you are interested, please meet in the Chapel this Sunday after Morning Worship. Our Church goal is $8,000.00. We will be receiving donations through the month of October. Amount collected to date : $2,669.50 Candy Donations Needed We will need lots and lots of individually wrapped candy to hand out at both Trunk or Treat events. Please place your bags of candy in the buckets that are placed in the main hallway.
