We still need to collect labels for education.

The Challenge:

Our church is assigned a CLUSTER.

Our Cluster will decide on the PAYOFF for the

winner.

Each church will keep track of its label count

(to date 280)

WINNER WITHIN THE CLUSTER will be

calculated based on a percentage of

Membership.

WINNING CLUSTER will be honored at the

Epiphany Party 2017.

Our church is behind in our district and need to

step up! The loosing Pastor of our District has

to wear the winners High School Tee- shirt. We

don’t want Steve to have to wear a Spearman

Lynx’s or Perryton Ranger’s Tee-shirt.

We have quite a lot of Funeral Dishes in

the kitchen. Please pick them up as soon

as possible. Anything left after a month

will be donated to the Open Door.

Thank You!
