Hayride

The Middle Schoolers (grades 6th-8th) students will be going on a hayride on October 18th. They enjoyed burgers and bowling in September. They hope to do an "outside of church" activity every month. If anyone is interested in helping this group raise money for all their outings, please contact Stephanie Spencer, Bill Swears, or Sarah Dutton.

Permanent Fund Dividend

It is the time of year for most Alaskans where we find ourselves with the gift of the permanent divident. As you ponder what to do with yours, please consider these options:

  1. Tithe your permanent dividend to the church. That would be $130.50 - or give any amount as a gift to the church!
  2. Give to the 50/50 Club. The 50/50 Club is a program where half of your gift stays in our Church for missions and the other half goes to the Presbytery.
  3. Help pay down our mortgage principle or donate to the new carpet.
  4. Gift to the Mary Magdalene Home Alaska. Started by Rev. Ken Smith and members of our congregation, you could help this mission by donating directly or indirectly by attending their Annual Tea & Auction on October 24th.

As we spend our Permanent Fund Dividends this year, please remember the Church and/or your favorite charity. Let us always give God the first fruits in thanksgiving.
