Your ongoing support of your church during the summer is vital. Programs and activities are ongoing, choirs rehearse, Bible Schools are conducted, summer camp goes on, ministry trainings are held, weddings, funerals, repairs are made, the fall programs are planned. Life goes on, and your support, especially “catching up” on envelopes when you are away on vacation trips, is most appreciated and necessary. Helps your pastor to sleep better at night, also! Thank you!!!
