        In an effort to be good stewards of time, money, and resources, we are printing "The Good News" newsletter four times during the year to cover special activities happening during the Fall, Advent/Christmas, Lenten/Easter, and Summer.  In addition, we will:

    • Publish the newsletter online for those who use the Internet
    • Make hard copies available at church for those who wish to pick up a copy
    • Email members and friends when the newsletter is published or updated online
    • Hand deliver hard copies to shut-ins without internet access
    • Mail newsletters to those who request us to do so

If you wish to be notified by e-mail each time the newsletter is updated, e-mail
