Membership & Nurture Notes

The Membership and Nurture Committee will begin a new venture in September. Members of the committee will be at all entrances on Sunday morning inviting you to print a disposable name tag to wear. This will enable Kate, our new minister, to call you by name and also help those of us getting older, who may forget the name of someone we should know.

If this is well received we will consider more permanent tags.

We invite you to come to the Corn Roast on September 12 and meet Kate in an informal socail setting. See you there.
