KIDS ACTIVITY BAGS:  Have you noticed the BLUE ACTIVITY BAGS hanging on the coat rack in the foyer???  (Amber Ryser and Kathy Daniels came up with this great idea and donation of the bags.)  These are for any child that needs something to "do" during worship, to help stop the "fidgets".  They only ask that you return the bags to the rack after services each week.  THANK YOU LADIES FOR THIS WONDERFUL IDEA!!
