Our Church Family, through Sunday School classes, circles, and individuals, generously donated $2,050 to Rutherfordton Elementary School last year to help the school to buy Christmas for their most needy students. The school Principal, Michelle Clement, is asking if the school might get your help with this heartfelt project again this year. If you would be willing to help, you may make checks payable to “Rutherfordton Elementary School” and put “Christmas help for students” in the “for” blank. You may give your checks to Pam Craft in the church office, and they will be delivered to the school. Thank you for your caring generosity.
