CHANGES TO 2025 OFFERING ENVELOPES. For those using offering envelopes, your envelope number may have changed effective January 1, 2025. We have had a reduction in folks that prefer to use envelopes so, to lower purchasing cost, some members’ envelope numbers changed. Be sure to write in your name on your envelope each week, to ensure your offering is correctly credited. Discard old envelopes and begin using the new envelopes January 1, 2025.
