Sunday Service Companion:

            The Executive Board has approved a wonderful activity during our church Sunday service--being a companion to members in need of a little assistance.  Currently, Sherry is being a companion to Martha, sitting with her and supplying a church provided large-print Full Text Quarterly for ease in following the service.  We are looking for additional companions to assist --especially when Sherry is on vacation.  Please speak with the Clerk if you are willing to be of assistance or would like more information.

            Due to the great financial burden to produce the Weekly Bible Lesson in Video format, The Mother Church has decided to stop all video production by the end of 2009.  All cable broadcasts will be discontinued in the near future, however the Reading Room DVD copy of the Weekly Bible Lesson will be available for viewing in the Reading Room through the end of 2009.
