                                  ~TRUSTEES TIDBITS~ 

The purpose of this section is to share the work of the Trustees committee with the congregation. If you’re interested in learning more or would like to serve/contribute to this work, please contact Jackie Karnes. The Trustees are diligently caring for and maintaining Round Hill Church facilities and grounds. The insurance company contacted the Trustees about shingles that need to be repaired on the CE building. They are reviewing quotes from businesses to repair the shingles on the roof. Trustees are also considering floor samples for the Fellowship Hall in the church building and reviewing costs for that improvement.

FOOD PANTRY DONATIONS - The Food Pantry is requesting baking supplies for the month of December. Please place these items either in the basket in the vestibule or bring them over to the C.E. Building and place them in front of the Food Pantry door. Thank you for helping those in need!

OFFERING ENVELOPES- When you have about one month's worth of envelopes left at home, please fill out the BRIGHT PINK form found on the table in the narthex to order more. These forms are also for those of you who would like to start using offering envelopes but have never received any. All forms can be then placed in the collection basket. Thank you!

"PER MEMBER ASKING "Our denomination and presbytery are each currently funded by "per member asking," an amount per active member that each church is asked to contribute. This year, Round Hill is contributing $23 per member to the EPC and $14.50 per member to the Presbytery of the Alleghenies. This information is provided for those members who would like to contribute the per member asking amount in addition to their regular giving by marking "PMA" or "per capita" on a gift placed in the offering.

ONLINE GIVING NOW AVAILABLE- If you would like to donate online, go to  the "Donations" page and follow the instructions; you can use credit/debit cards or Paypal.
