It's that time of year again for the Quilting Ministry Christmas Quilt Raffle. Tickets are $1.00 for each entry or $5 for six entries. The Raffle Quilt is about 84" X 96" or a large double/small queen. It has a Christmas Theme this year of Christmas Garland with a Tree. If you go to church in person, be sure and also look at the beautiful quilting stitches on the back of the quilt. The drawing for the Raffle Quilt will be conducted in between Christmas Eve Services as usual. What a wonderful way to end the Christmas holidays and make the receiver of these quilts very happy. All funds/donations made will be used to support our Quilting Ministry; we will purchase the fabric for quilts for our 2022 high school graduating seniors, and also for the beautiful quilting stitches on them.

An RLC Memorial for CW West CW as auctioneer.
The RLC Council has voted to purchase an electronic sign for the church in honor of CW West, who gave so much of his time, talents and heart to our church. The project he talked about often in the last year of his life was this sign. There will be a name plate on the sign in recognition of his contributions.
If you would like to contribute to his memorial, there is a separate category on our online giving form. You can also send a check with "CW Memoria"l in the notation line. 10:15 am Sunday Worship is Both In-person and Online We are worshiping in the church on Sundays and streaming worship services at 10:15am via Facebook Live.
