Our Altar Guild sets up for Holy Communion and keeps communion ware, linens, and the altar area clean. If you are interested in joining Altar Guild, please contact Melody Krugler at 832-731-3964 or bkrugler@yahoo.com  Thank you. 

Over the past several years, the congregation has purchased or received as gifts a variety of excellent Christian movies for children and adults.  We are making these DVD's available for our members to check out and use at home.  In an effort to keep track of these dvds/videos, we ask that when you select an item to borrow, you please fill out the card attached to it and place the card in the designated box on the library shelf.  We encourage you to keep them for only one week and then return them to the  Library “Return Basket.”  This system will hopefully help us to be good stewards in using these resources and being accountable for their whereabouts.  ENJOY!       

A big thank you to those who have donated food, and to those who have set up, heated and set out food, served and cleaned up in order for all of us to enjoy a time of fellowship together each week. To keep this much appreciated tradition going, more volunteers are needed. If you can serve on a team of two to take care of the setup, heating food and serving, please contact Nancy Vogt at (414)531-3411 or email bobandnancy4813@gmail.com. Training will be provided and you will serve no more than once per month. If you can help by bringing food or with clean-up/dishes, please do so as you are able. Thank you! “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” Acts 2:42
