Saturday, February 16th
Annual Church Meeting at 10:00 am.

In an effort to serve the congregation better, the Church Board has authorized the purchase of several listening devices. The personal receivers are small and discreet and will go a long way to help people get the most out of our services. A special contribution has already been earmarked for the $800 purchase, but if you would like to be part of this important project, please designate your contributions, “LISTENING DEVICE PROJECT.”

A CALL IS ISSUED TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF NORTH COLLINS TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL MEETING SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2008 AT 10:00 AM. OFFICERS WILL BE ELECTED, ANNUAL REPORTS GIVEN, AND THE NEW BUDGET ADOPTED. ANY OTHER BUSINESS BY THE PEOPLE WILL ALSO BE TRANSACTED. THE TRUSTEE TERMS THAT EXPIRE ARE LORI CLAPPER AND FRED BOTKO.
