Lysol spray and wipes, Cascade for dishwasher and anything else someone thinks we need.
-Lastly, members are cleaning on an assigned date.

- Tithing, giving 10%of one’s income is God-pleasing,
As are all gifts offered by pious and cheerful givers with humble hearts.
Also, a new card must be on file each year for members to be in “good standing”. Stewardship Cards are available in the Narthex.

Take any remaining trash out.
