Shop Rite Card Fundraiser: Many thanks to Laura Stone and Barbara Dougherty who have taken over the sale of Shop Rite cards to benefit the church.  You can purchase gift cards at worship on Saturday from Laura, or on Sunday from Barbara.  Use the gift cards when you shop at Shop Rite – 5% of sales benefit the church.  Over the years, we have raised $13,940 from the sale of Shop Rite cards! Please contact Elizabeth, Barbara or Laura if you would like to arrange to meet at the church to purchase cards during the week!

Cornerstone is offering an opportunity for the congregation to donate flower arrangements for the communion table, with a memorial or honorarium dedication in the bulletin.  The cost is $40 and proceeds will be used for a Cornerstone Flower Fund to allow us to purchase other special arrangements as needed throughout the year.  Click here to sign up electronically.

Our Per Capita Offering is being collected for 2023. Per capita is an amount of money per member (this year, $40.00) that our congregation pays to our larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This offering allows us to work with other churches to further the mission of Jesus Christ around the world. Per Capita also helps to prepare future ministers to faithfully answer their call from God.  As Presbyterians, we believe that we need each other as we work together to and discern the mind of Christ for the PC(USA).  We encourage all members to make their Per Capita offering at your earliest convenience – it can be given all at once or in small increments throughout the year.  Please place your offering in the offering plate marked “per capita.”  Thank you!
