Did you know that every $50 spent at Amazon.com can send almost $3 to Chilson? This is a great way to buy the toys, videos, books and everything else that you may already buy from Amazon.com. Small purchases make a big difference. Visit your Amazon shopping cart through the Chilson Online Bookstore webpage.
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
Worship Prep
Worship Design Team meets at 5:30p. Chilson Hills Choir (6:30p) and Bell Choir (8p) also rehearse.
KITCHEN USE
Supply Alert!
It’s time to "bring your own kitchen paper supplies" when you sponsor an event which involves use of the kitchen. All supplies in the kitchen are being paid for by individual members, not by the church. If you use supplies, you are taking supplies that are reserved for another event. Be aware that it is important to appreciate the work, effort, and money of the people those supplies belong to!
KITCHEN CARE
Dish Alert!
It's time to "take care of your own dishes" when you use the church kitchen. If there are many dishes, the dishwasher is available; otherwise, wash, dry and put away your dishes. Soap is at the sink. Clean cloths are available. It’s important to appreciate the work, effort, and money of the people who take care of the kitchen for us! For questions, see Jan Funke 734-449-8362.
MONEY CONCERNS
If Facing
Financial Struggle...
The economy is a powerful influence! If you could use a little assistance this winter, call the church office. All calls will be kept confidential. We are a family and we want to help if we can.
RECYCLING

Toner Cartridges
Used toner cartridges are still being collected in the main lobby. When not benefitting children’s activities, they help to purchase critical supplies for the church office. Each cartridge brings in a minimum of $3 to put toward church needs. Contact Kathryn Poppy at the church office kpoppy@chilsonhills.org.
