January 8th begins our parish baby bottle project to benefit the work of Morning Star Pregnancy Services. This year an envelope system will replace the use of bottles. We invite you to take home an envelope, available in the narthex, as you leave church.  Your financial support will help Morning Star continue to provide counseling and resources to women facing untimely pregnancies in our community.

Envelopes may be returned to the box on the table in the narthex by January 30 or mailed directly to the center.
