The office reached out to the Church Giving Envelope Company which prints our yearly giving envelopes and wanted to share with you an updated status. Our envelopes are still in the queue on the production floor. Unfortunately, production is behind this year because of a machine repair and also due to a chain supply shortage of paper and labor.
