PENNY JAR COLLECTION:  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 you can drop it in the 5-gallon bottle by the church library door.

The Zone teen center has opened!  The Zone is open each Friday and Saturday, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.  There have been around 40 youth each evening.  What is needed now are additional adult volunteers.  If you want to volunteer please contact one of The Zone board members:  C J Dyas, Stephanie Dyas, Jonathan Simburger, Melanie Sherer, Shawn Huber, Rem Dyas, or Matt Ferguson.  The Zone hopes to expand the number of days it is open but volunteers are needed to make that goal a reality.
