  • What do I do when the offering plate is passed?
    You may contribute your tithe and/or offering into the offering plate when it is passed, however it is not necessary or expected that you do so.

  • Will I be singled out or asked to stand as a first time visitor?
    We will not do anything to embarrass you in any way or single you out as a first time visitor.  However, we would like it if you would fill out our visitor card (found in the pews) and take it to the Welcome Center so that we can give you our Visitor booklet and a small gift.
