~ Attention parents of small children! Just a little item here, but we have started to supply small pieces of paper for your children to write on and play with while they are in the sanctuary. The offering envelopes in the pews cost approximately 30 cents each and some weeks more than a dozen of these are mutilated or scribbled on and then discarded. Would you please direct your children, whenever possible, to use the other papers which we have placed near the ends of the pews? Thank you for your cooperation!
