You can still email a digitalized copy of a current picture for the new directory to carolyn@frucc.org or bring one you’d liked scanned by the office.
Items for the Senior Care Center
If you have any toiletries or household items for Carolina Senior Care Center, please bring them to the church on Sunday. You may leave them at the office. Items needed include hair care products, dental care products, soaps and body wash, body lotion, deodorant, paper towels and tissues, laundry detergent and household cleaning products.
Reminder for the Youth
Remember to take FLAT JESUS along with you wherever you may go and have someone snap a picture. Text or email the picture to Pastor Elizabeth or email it to Carolyn in the office so we can add His adventures to our Facebook page and the newsletter! The “Adventures of Flat Jesus” could be very entertaining for all of us!
