****IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR****

• A mailing went out to the entire congregation on Tuesday, September 22, 2009. The people that helped in the office missed a stack of the pre-addressed envelopes. They went out without the letter in them. It appears that the congregants that were effected are the part of the alphabet between F - H. If you received an empty envelope please email me, and I will send you a new letter.
