Offering Envelopes
The company which provides our offering envelopes has notified us of a production delay which impacts our ability to provide the envelopes to you. Once we receive these, they will be placed on tables in the Welcome Center for pick up. There are My Offering envelopes in the pew pockets which can be used until you receive your envelopes.
