Looking for Holy Week Sponsors
Holy Week is the most important week in the liturgical calendar.

The following are the areas that need sponsors:
Flowers and Plants: $600
Music: $1,000
Holy Thursday Dinner: $800
If you would like to be a Holy Week sponsor, you may submit your donation through givecentral.com, or there are special envelopes at the back of church and in the pews.
