RECYCLING: Plastic tubs have been placed in the elevator hallway and the Van-O Hall labeled for paper only. There are containers in the Van-O Hall and upstairs in the social hall for empty aluminum cans only. If you need help getting your recycling to church or to Pacific Recycling, please contact the church office at 453-3114.
