The Final Push to Sunday

Hey gang, can some of you help me out? We have a couple thousand Easter invite flyers left. After Sunday they will obviously be no good. We need folks to come by the church office tomorrow, “Friday”—and grab as many as you want to put in mailboxes in your neighborhoods, nearby coffee shops, restaurants, places […]
