The Daughters of the King are continuing to collect pill bottles.

Please remove the labels, wash the bottle/cap, and replace the cap. 
Bottles can be placed in the designated box in the church narthex.
The bottles are shipped to Matthew 25 Ministries in Ohio. This organization sends the bottles to clinics around the world where bottles are not readily available.
Thank you for your continued support of this important ministry.
 
The Daughters of the King have changed their regular meeting to 6:00 pm on the second Thursday of the month at the church. 

They previously met at 1:30 pm. It is our hope that this evening time may work better for prospective members who have daytime commitments.
If you’re interested in learning more about Daughters of the King, please talk to any DOK member or go to their website DOKNational.org.
The next meeting is Thursday, August 8 at 6:00 pm and interested persons are welcome to attend.
  
​Prayer Requests *If you want your request printed in the bulletin, please make sure it's received by Tuesday.
