CHANGE FOR CHANGE
For the month of August , our Change for Change focus will be IMPACT CLAY. Cash, change or checks can be dropped off in the offering plate. If writing a check, please put "outreach" on the memo line.
Impact Clay makes it easier for Clay County residents to get help—and for local nonprofits to deliver it. We bring nonprofits, businesses, faith groups, and local government together and run hands-on programs: mobile neighborhood care (Impact Clay Train), countywide disaster recovery (Recovering Clay), low-cost nonprofit workspace (Professional Center), shared community projects (Project Partners), leadership training (Global Leadership Summit), and a real-time resource platform (Linksy). Our collaborative efforts aim to build a stronger, more resilient Clay County where everyone can enjoy an improved quality of life. Explore our programs to find services or ways to get involved.

ALTAR FLOWERS
The flower charts for 2026 are up in the Chapel and in the Narthex. If you would like to dedicate flowers on the altar to honor or remember a loved one, now is the time to reserve your date. Flowers in the Chapel are $55 each Sunday and arrangements in the church are $75. Please submit your dedication wording no later than noon, the Monday before your dedication date to Barbee Cunningham at barbeemt@gmail.com
You can put your dedication money in the collection plate or in the box located in front of the church office. If paying by check, please write Flower Dedication on the memo line. If paying by cash, please put your money in one of the envelopes provided and indicate that it is for a flower dedication on the envelope.
