Gift Card Program:  Thanks to all who are participating in the Kroger gift card fundraiser.  Cards are still available for purchase at $5 each.  It's an easy way to raise funds for the church.  If you shop at Foodland, there are cards available for them as well in $50 and $100 amounts.  See Bob Tebay to purchase either Kroger or Foodland cards, or for more information about how the program works.  You can call him at 304-863-3132 or 304-481-2260.

Fundraiser:  As a fundraiser we are selling Cat's Meow renderings of our church at $20 each and our bell tower at $12 each; and gold flashed brass Christmas ornaments, also made in the likeness of First Church, for $10 each, or three for $25.  Both may be purchased in the foyer on Sundays or in the office during the week.

Coffee Hour:   On Sundays gather in the Harris Room at 10:00 for coffee, snacks and fellowship.

Sanctuary Flowers:  There are lots of open dates on the flower calendar.  If there is a person or date/event you would like to remember this is a good way to do it.  After worship services you may take the arrangement home with you or give it to someone.

Sign Ups:  If you would like to: (a) host a coffee hour, (b) furnish flowers for worship, (c) work in the nursery, or (d) do all of the above, you may sign up at the table in the front foyer for any of these.  See Ruth Kalo before or after worship services, or stop by the church during the week and put your name on the list(s).

The Gathering:  September through May, join us on the first Wednesday of each month in Stevenson Hall for a potluck meal followed by a time of worship and hymn singing. The other Wednesdays of the month will not include a meal. “The Gathering” will be a Bible study beginning at 6:45 p.m. in the Harris Room and drinks and light refreshments will be available.
