PENNY JAR COLLECTION:  On the last Sunday of the month we are collecting loose change for our Penny Jar.  The money collected during the year helps to pay for items purchased for the local Angel Tree project.  And if you have any loose change with you when you are at church at other times you can always drop it in the 5-gallon bottle by the church library door.
