We still have 66 costumes that need to be washed, dried and returned back to the Church.  Even if you were a “no show” on Saturday or scheduled for Sunday, your costume has fire wood smoke on it.  Please don’t wait for the costume committee to contact you directly.  Once again your cooperation is needed.  Thank you!

MAY GOD BLESS US IN ALL WE DO
