CONGREGATIONAL SURVEY UPDATE
The Alpine Congregational Assessment results from the survey that was taken at the end of 2014 has been compiled and sent to Alpine members with a
registered email address. Also included in this email was the Church Profile
document that will be sent to potential minister candidates to help them familiarize themselves with who we are as a congregation. If you did not receive this information and would like to have it sent via email or if you would
like a hard copy of the Church Profile contact the church office. Due to the
large number of pages that were required to record the survey results, only a
limited number of paper copies will be reproduced. They will be available for
review in the church office. An additional method of obtaining the survey
and profile will be by requesting from the church office a compact disk (CD)
that will contain both documents.
FURNITURE MINISTRY
Spring Cleaning Alert! The Alpine Furniture Ministry would like to remind
members that we do collect used furniture to place in our storage unit for
people and families that are facing a crisis, or getting their life back in order. If
you have any items that you would like to donate, please call the church office
to arrange a drop off or pick up time. We are happy to assist you!
HELP NEEDED
PATHSTONES is in desperate need of volunteers to work 2 - 3 hours every
other Thursday evening. They are also in need of volunteers to have on an “as
needed” basis. This is a growing ministry at Alpine and they need more help
to keep up with the needs the community has. If you would like to serve in
this way, please contact Denise at 903-248-2480.
