Notes For The New Year
Please call the church office at (803)
279-0415 if and when you have a change
of address so our Newsletters can get to
you on time. Sometimes it is several
weeks before the Post Office returns your
newsletter with the corrected address.
If you use an envelope from the pew,
please put your name on the outside to
be sure that you get credit for your contri-
bution. Since we no longer mail out our
envelopes, please pick up a packet of
envelopes available outside the church
office or in the foyer of the Sanctuary. If
there are none available, let me know
and I will be sure that you get a supply.
Lost and Found
Keep a check on the credenza outside
the church office for items that are lost or
found. Found items are usually placed
out there so they can be claimed.
Contributions
Please be sure that your contributions
are covered. The bank charges you and
also charges the church each time a
check is returned.
