♦     Christmas in July! During “Christmas in July” a tree will be in the narthex, decorated with tags listing specific gift card requests for gas, groceries, and pharmacies. These gift cards help us respond with care and compassion when neighbors come to the church seeking assistance.  Here’s how it works: Choose a tag from the tree, purchase a gift card in the suggested amount, and return it by placing it in the offering plate or bringing it to the church office any time in July.  Thank you so much for helping us be good news to our neighbors!
