The regular monthly Building and Grounds work day will be Saturday, 17 March 2012, instead of the regular second Saturday date of the month.
The date has been changed to avoid a conflict with the Enneagram Workshop on 9-10 March 2012.

2012 Stewardship Campaign
This year’s stewardship drive has already surpassed last year’s and promises to be even better — thanks to Stewardship Chair Robert Smith, the dedicated stewards who have taken the time to have vital conversations about what the church means to its members, and of course, thanks to you.
We are still waiting on a number of pledges we know will come in, so if one of those happens to be yours, please take a quick moment to cross this one item off of your growing December list.
Such a small, simple act of filling out a form, and yet you know how much it means to your own spiritual sustenance and to the continued presence of a liberal religious alternative in our community.
Lost your form? Not to worry. Check your mailbox on Saturday and Monday and you should receive a new one, so fill it out and bring it with you to church on Sunday or drop it in the mail. If it crosses in the mail with the one you just sent in, thank you, and please disregard the new one.
Thank you for your continued support of our faith community.
Office Volunteers Needed
Our office volunteers are in need of someone (or ideally, several someones) who can be available to substitute for one of our regular volunteers.
Duties involve mostly answering the phone and email and passing along messages as needed; and being present for service people, potential renters viewing the building, and occasional drop-in visitors.
Office hours are 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM Tuesday – Friday.
If interested, call 318-868-3313 or email Virginia Villarreal.
