Spring Stewardship
Time & Talents
Campaign

• As spring approaches most of us are anxious to experience somewhat of a renewal or refreshment to end winter months. Spring is also the time to renew our commitment of our time and talents to the programs of our church.

• The Time & Talents Campaign, as its name reflects, is the commitment of your time, whether it be driving children to the zoo or teaching a Sunday School class; or of your talents, whether it be leading arts and crafts for Vacation Bible School or cooking for PYF. Everyone has something to give. Everything that is given is very important to the programs of our church.

• What is your talent? Please prayerfully consider where you can give of your time and talents to the upcoming children and youth programs of our church.

• Sign up sheets are available on the tables at the front and back of the sanctuary and in the Recreation Room. Or you may pick up a brochure located on the table in the church office hallway, fill it out and return it to the church office!
