Olan Mills will be at our church to photograph church families for a new church pictorial directory. The dates are:

– Thursday, April 15 (2:00 - 9:10 pm)
– Friday, April 16 (2:00 - 9:10 pm)
– Saturday, April 17 (9:30 - 5:00 pm)

Each participating family will receive a FREE Signature 8 x 10 Portrait AND a FREE Church Directory. To take advantage of your free 8 x 10 portrait, your ENTIRE family should participate even if they are NOT members of the church. A separate shot can then be taken of those that are church members.

Sign up every Sunday in March through Easter Sunday!
