Safe Sanctuary Screenings – Sunday, March 5th Due to Provincial directives, each congregation in the Southern Province has been charged with implementing a Safe Sanctuary Policy. This policy ensures the safety of children, youth and vulnerable adults in our congregation. As part of the Safe Sanctuary Policy, anyone who works with children/youth (other than Provincial employees and those who already had a screening in order to work at Laurel Ridge) will need to have a screening. This includes all Nursery volunteers, Children’s Church volunteers, Sunday School Teachers, Youth Workers, Youth Choir/Handbell Directors…anyone who works with kids. Unfortunately, the results of screenings that school teachers have already done are not available to us, so we must do another one. Gary Stilley will be at Olivet on Sunday, March 5th after the worship service to conduct the Safe Sanctuary Screenings. Gary coming to Olivet will save everyone from going downtown to have their screening. Any questions, please contact Evie Blum PRAYER CONCERNS: Lori Barnett, Eddie Beroth, JD Beroth, Charles Binkley, Sheila Binkley, Sherry Caudle, Betsy Harper, Leslie Myers, Emily Norman, Pamela Padgett, Marie Presson, Bill Smith, Janet Smith, Jerry Smith, Kim Wood, Wilma Tally, Amanda Zaski Homebound / Shut-In / Nursing Care / Limited Activity: Shirley Athan, Ruth Beeding, Vernice Beroth, Jr., Eugene Bigham, Thelma Boose, Gladys Doub, Ileana Drake, Ila Frye, Eleanor McGee, Marie Presson, Jack Queen, Betty Shropshire, Melbadene Smith, Wilma Sprinkle, Ruth Trogdon, Bill & Vivian Voss How We Came and Gave Last Sunday Worship Attendance: 130 Sunday School Attendance: 59 2017 Church Budget: $346,194.00 Year to Date Contributions: $41,521.46 Needed Weekly to Meet Budget: $6,657.57 Offering Last Sunday: $6,303.00
