Announcing a Retirement
It is bittersweet for our church staff that after 21 years of faithful service, Barbara McCoy has announced that she will be retiring her position as Administrative Assistant at the end of May.  Barb’s gifting and passion for sharing God’s love with all who walk through our office doors have been so inspiring, but we celebrate with her as she transitions into the next phase of her journey, which will enable her to spend lots of time with her husband, kids, and grandkids!  In response to this news, we are blessed to also announce that Karen Hassman has agreed to join our support staff to take over Barb’s responsibilities.  We will be announcing in the weeks ahead the date and time of a reception to honor Barb and shower her with appreciation and wishes for a fabulous retirement!

Saturday, April 3, 1:00-3:00 p.m.  We need your help to keep this event free of charge.  We will need plenty of volunteers on the day of the event (more details to come!) as well as donations ahead of time.  Donations we need:  tons and tons and tons of individually wrapped candies, plastic eggs filled with candy, monetary donations to offset the cost of an inflatable & large prizes.
