HELP NEEDED
We have a bulletin board in the hallway that has
been maintained by Marilyn Lawrence for many years. The
theme for the board has generally been seasonal (sometimes
integrating the church seasons as well) and sometimes has
included her own artwork. We are in need of someone to
take on this task. If you are interested, please
contact Becky Jeske in the church's office and let us
know. She can be reached at (630) 968-6050 or via email. Thanks for your help.
