A grateful, sincere THANK YOU to all of 2025's Greeters for their welcoming smiles on Sunday mornings, collecting the Offering during worship service, providing beverages and goodies for fellowship, and for their flexibility when schedule changes were needed! As we ring in the new and out the old, the 2026 Greeter Duty schedule is now available at this link HERE . Hard copies of it will be posted in the Narthex as well as on the Fellowship Hall bulletin board. Since most folk are assigned two Sundays, please find your names and mark your calendars so there are no surprises. A friendly text reminder is also sent out on Mondays. Remember if changes need to be made, please consult the schedule, contact someone who can switch, and then notify the office by text, call, or email so that Lauren can adjust for Tidings and Sunday bulletins. On behalf of CIC, endless thanks ahead of time for your important Greeter service during 2026!
