TIME & TALENT OFFERINGS

NOTE: This form is distributed annually in the newsletter and/or weekly bulletins each January. Copies are also made available in the church Narthex.

+ + Dear Grace Members & Friends + +

            Each year, we join together in tasks that enable us to worship as God’s family and carry out our congregation’s ministries. In assigning these tasks, we do our best to share responsibilities and anticipate personal needs. Thus, it is helpful to know any special requests you may have for Feb. 2010 - Jan. 2011. IF you have preferences, please mark them on this sheet and place in the offering OR return to the office by Jan. 20. You may check areas you especially desire or cross out any you feel you absolutely cannot do. If an item is neither checked nor crossed out, we will make assignments only as needed. For multi-member households, please write names by each area. We give thanks to God for your prayerful willingness to share in these tasks – and for all who offer time & talents in service of our Lord!
