2015 Updates

• Rotating Potluck - If you have any additions, deletions, or other changes to the existing roster, please list them on the sheet posted in the back (North) hall.  All are welcome to participate.
• Dinner List -  If you plan to remove or add your name, you may make the changes to the dinner list hanging on the bulletin board by the dining room or contacting Bro. Brent or Sis. Marge Hodel.  
• Phone Directory Update - If you have updates for the directory, please either fill out an update card located in the North hall or fill out the form found on the church website.  http://www.roanokeacchurch.org/directory.html
• Automated Call System - The trustees have decided to implement an automated call system to replace our current manual call trees that are used for cancelling church and other time-sensitive messages. If anyone has a cell phone number listed in the church directory, this number was used, with a preference for a text message.  If no cell phone number was listed in the church directory, the land line number was used, with a preference for a voice message.  This automated call system master list is on a table in the north hall.  Please check the list to make sure you will be notified in the manner you prefer.  Please mark any changes, or if your information is how you wish to be notified, please mark OK.  The trustees will be present to answer questions.
