Pick up your fabric square now in the fellowship hall to be a part of the 150th anniversary quilt!  All squares must be returned by Sunday, September 15. Let’s make this quilt a wonderful celebration of our members and show the future members who we were in 2024!

 

All Time Capsule items are due by Sunday, October 13th. There will be a display of example items in the Fellowship Hall immediately following service today if you would like any ideas.

Anniversary banquet tickets and anniversary T-shirts are now on sale. We will be in the Fellowship Hall immediately following the service. $18 for S-XL $20-$22 for 2XL-4XL.

 

We are asking for suggestions from our congregation for a Service Project and a Legacy Program for our 150th Anniversary. The Service Project would start in June and end at the Anniversary. The Legacy Project would start after the Anniversary and continue as a Legacy for Holmes Grove Church. If you have any suggestions, please let someone on the Anniversary Committee know. Thank you!
