ANNOUNCEMENTS

HAVE A HEART FOR HAITI: The Dewey Missionary Society is dedicating the month of February to charitable giving for Haiti. Each Sunday in February, we will take a second offering for relief work in this devastated country. We would like to designate the first offering (Feb 7th) for Roy and Ruth Shelpman’s personal use and the following Sunday’s offerings (14th, 21st, and 28th) for their rebuilding efforts.


All committee heads and chairs: Don’t forget that Audrey needs your annual report today to make it in the packets for the Annual Meeting.
