Have you ever noticed how the sanctuary is straightened up each week? Or wondered how the worksheets in the worship bags get changed each week? Without our valuable office volunteers, many things around the church would not get done. With that in mind, we wish to acknowledge and thank the following people for all their continual dedication, commitment, and hard work: Faith: mails out the sermons and bills, changes the cassette tapes that record the worship service, folds the newsletters; Sue: enters in the Christian Education attendance, prepares the shepherds’ bags; Rowena: straightens the sanctuary; Charlene: changes the worship bags each week; Nelson & Barb: fold the weekly bulletin, add into the bulletin any inserts; Vi: enters in the attendance off the friendship registers, puts the name tags on the board; Nelson: helps count the money on Mondays and takes the money to the bank; Sandy: always ready to fill in if extra help is needed. And lastly, the wonderful group of people who come each month to do the newsletter: Ruth, Betty & Bob, and Nelson & Barb. In addition, all these people help by answering the phone and doing any other job that may arise. They are always willing to go that extra mile to help out. A big heartfelt thank you to all of you, you are invaluable assets to our church family.
Each week we email the announcements from the next week’s bulletin to anyone who would like to receive them. If you would like to be included, just email Gail, Office Manager, at office@1stpcw.org or call her at 440-946-0070 (church office).
