CHILDREN’S SUNDAY SCHOOL- We have a few spots left to teach Children’s Sunday School during Church for the new year. A long term commitment is not required. We are looking for anyone who has a willingness to serve in this area. There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board. Thanks, Jennifer Hayward.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held Jan. 29, 2012 after the morning service and a finger-food potluck lunch. Please reserve the first half of that afternoon for this important business meeting. If you haven’t already done so, please submit committee reports today. One agenda item for this meeting will be some discussion of Vacation Bible Camp for 2012. Although “new business from the floor” will be welcome, it would help if you tell Mike DeHaan about it earlier so we can all be prepared to discuss it. NOTE: DMC’s Annual General Meeting is open to anyone who attends here, regardless of formal membership status. As always, first-time guests are especially welcome to the potluck.
Adult Sunday School Schedule - 10:00 am.
