New Name Badges   

We have made new name badges with our new logo, which will be available starting this Sunday’s service. They can be found on the table to the right of the Sanctuary entrance. For assistance, please reach out to Laurel Williams or Sue Dickey. If we happened to overlook your name, please let Laurel or Sue know, and we will make one for you for the following Sunday. Also, please leave us your old badges so we can reuse them for other purposes. Thank you and blessings!.
