Hello ~ What do I feel like talking about this month? I am having a hard time concentrating because as I sit here I am serenaded by the frogs, what a wonderful sound. But this is not the place for frog talk...

When was the last time you wanted to extend a special prayer to someone? When was the last time you dedicated the Eternal Candle to someone? For $3 you can have the candle burn for someone special all week. Next time you add a name to the prayer board don’t forget about the Eternal Candle.

How do you feel about the Attendance or Friendship Pads? I know there are mixed feelings. I completely understand, I was not aware of the power they could have until last month. I was so excited to welcome 5 new members to our church, 3 of whom checked a box to get the ball rolling. If you have an address or an email that needs to be updated this is a great place to do it. Feel free to write me a note if there is something you want the council to address, if you know of someone who wants to receive the newsletter, or to just say Hi. You do not have to tear them out and put them in the collection plate, you can leave them in the red folders.

Great news...I have my Authorization form for direct donations from my checking to the church! My life is about to get just a little bit easier! You can assign the amounts you wan to go to all the same funds as the envelopes, including building and celebration. If you are interested in this program or have a question talk to Pastor John.

Enjoy the wonderful day!
