Psalm Central

Coming Fall 2010 will be Psalm Central at Elm Springs. It will be for elementary on Wednesday nights and will incorporate Bible study and the arts. I am currently seeking adults who would share their talents in the following areas:

music lessons - let me know what instrument
voice
dance - let me know what style(s)
cheer
art
beading
drama
sewing/quilting.

Students will supply their own materials, so I would need a supply list from teachers by July.

I am projecting that this will run about 6-8 weeks before we start practice for this year's Christmas pageant. Leave a note in the comment section to volunteer.

Support Your Church

Bring your aluminum cans to be recycled for missions. Last year cans earned around $1000. You can bring cans to the Fellowship Hall or Crisler Kitchen.

See if your employer will match funds for your donations and tithe.

Donate through paypal for special donations or to give your tithe when you are out of town. Find the link at http://elmspringschurch.org/.

We also recycle printer ink cartridges for profit. Drop off cartridges at the Christian Education and Care Ministries Office. For a list of what can be used, go to http://ecyclegroup.com/.

Purchase gift/shopping cards on the first Sunday of the month. You pay face value and the church gets a percentage of the purchase. To see a list of available cards, go to http://glscrip.com/.

Click on the ads on the rightside of this blog and the church earns for each click.

Bring in Best Choice labels (only that brand) to the Welcome Center.
