  Legacy Circle

          The Legacy Circle has been established to recognize those individuals who have committed to leave at least $1,000 to the church through their will, insurance or other means. Such gifts have been very meaningful to the church in recent years. A plaque with the names of those who have committed to make such a gift will be dedicated on October 28th. If you wish to have your name included on the plaque please see Michelle to get a commitment card and turn it in to Jim Lauer or David Hoefer.
