Just sign up using the sheets provided in the Narthex and, if you have any questions, please contact Pastor Oman, Lisa Schwarzentraub or any of those that have led in the past.

ITEMS NEEDED We have some crafts projects coming up for the B.O.B. kids and are looking for some items. We need old magazines to cut letters and pictures out of for mod-podge. And does anyone have any open topped Metal Christmas cookie cutters that we can borrow for a few weeks to make gifts with? They will be returned to you so please put them in a bag with your name on it. If you have any of these items please put them in the Youth Room downstairs.
