We have Kid’s Church for children 2 years to Grade 3 and a Nursery for younger ones which you are welcome to use it at any time during Worship Service. Adults, please remember that the Nursery is for little folk and especially respect the “Baby Sleeping” sign when it is up. If you must answer cell phone or other adult business, please use another area like the Library. Thank you so much. Everybody please remember to bring your Co-Op grocery receipts and place in the clear plastic container on table beside the elevator. Only receipts from the Co-Op store here in Lanigan and only for groceries—no fuel charges. Twice a year receipts are taken to the business office in Humboldt and the Church receives a cheque for 1% of monies spent before taxes and levies.
