GROCERY CART MINISTRY Each month we are collecting certain items for our Food Pantry. For the month of Ju-ly we are collecting PANCAKE MIX AND SYRUP. You can place your donation in the shopping cart that is in the narthex. THE ITEMS WE ARE REQUESTING ARE THE ONLY ITEMS WE NEED THIS MONTH. This will help to keep expenses down for the Food Pantry. Thanks for your help!!

TELEPHONE AND INTERNET UPGRADE

Our new telephone and internet system has now been installed. We have returned to our old phone

number 792-9260. Now when you call the church you will be given the option of

reaching individual extensions.

When the system answers, you will be prompted to enter an extension.

“To reach the main church or the office, press 1. To reach the pastor, press 2. To reach the 3-year-old

preschool class, press 3. To reach the 4 & 5-year-old class, press 4. To reach the prayer line, press 5.”

Also part of this upgrade is an improvement in our internet service. Because we are switching

our service to Comcast, the church email address will be changing as well. The new email address is not set up as of today, but should be this week. We are not

completely sure what the new email will be, but a church-wide email will be sent with the new email

address. When the new Comcast email is activated, westyorkcob@verizon.net will no longer be active.

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we go through this transition.
