Have you seen the BANNERS made for the 125th Anniversary, hanging in the balcony area? Aren’t they beautiful? The 150th Anniversary Committee would like for each Sunday School Class and group to make a banner for our December 26 150th Anniversary. We would like them to be more uniform this time, so we will supply the material, then you can add your creativity to it! Please see Pastor Greg, Jo Ross, Duane Adkins, Pat Grass or Becky Childers, and we will get you the material to get you started.
HELP NEEDED: Ann and Paul Hinkley are looking for volunteers to help with the Good News Club that meets at Milton Elementary every Thursday after school until 5:00 pm. (Volunteers help with songs, snacks, bathroom breaks, checking in/out, writing prayer requests, games, playground supervision, and teaching.)
