Mission Service Hours

Turn in Your Mission Service Hours


“Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”  (Colossians 3:17)

Whether you mow a neighbor’s lawn or work as a volunteer for an outside organization, keep track of your hours and turn them in the following Sunday. Work done at/for the Church also counts. You can drop it the offering plate or leave it in the office door/window. As seen on the front of each Sunday’s bulletin, a record of your service hours reflects our combined witness in a tangible way and may encourage others within the church to do service outside the church. Please list what you did and hours spent so that we can insure you aren’t counted twice.  You can also turn in mileage spent doing service work.

Our Current Total is:  3617.75

Note of Thanks from Luna/Looke Family

We, along with Vicki's sister, Sally Looke, would like to express our appreciation to the church and our church family for all the kind thoughts and prayers during Opal Looke's illness and recent passing. They were comforting and it is our blessing that Mom is now resting peacefully in a better place.
Thanks you all.
Bruce and Vicki Luna, Sally Looke
