The Outreach Committee has set a new collection container on the desk in the Narthex!! They are collecting all plastic caps from water bottles, soda bottles, etc. These caps will be delivered to a patient of Ray Gronlund’s that will recycle for a cause. Please remember to recycle the caps—not just for charity, but for the environment!! They continue to collect the “aluminum tabs” from cans—these are collected for the Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh.

Stewardship Campaign– The office sent out giving cards by mail this week, please return those so we have a better idea of what to expect for the 2025 budget. In case you didn’t receive one in the mail there are extra giving cards on the desk in the lobby.
Hey Phil, How come I didn’t get a card in the mail? That means I don’t have an accurate or up to date address on file for you, please email or call the office so we can send you information in the mail, and you’re not left out!
“Tabs with a Purpose” – the Outreach Committee is collecting “tabs” from the top of soup, can goods and beverage cans for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. Your TRASH gives them CASH! Please deposit them in the container in the Narthex.
