2023 OFFERING ENVELOPES
We are STILL waiting for them to arrive.  The company says it MAY be the middle of January.  So, in the meantime, we have plain envelopes you can get from an usher or just use your own blank envelopes.  Please write your name on the outside.
Also, please don’t use old past year envelopes you may still have at home.
Your envelope number may change from year to year!!
 
YEAR END FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE READY
Jill has emailed many of the statements, so check your email. 
Those without an email address will find a box in the Narthex with their statement.
If you have any questions, please contact the office.
