Little Free Library: Forrest Burdette now has a Little Free Library, located in the grassy
area just before the COM covered drive. This project was a collaboration between our
Children’s & Youth Ministries. A Little Free Library is a “take a book, return a book”
free book exchange for all ages. If you have a gently used book or two, for children, youth,
young adults, or adults, that you think would be a good addition to our little library, please
bring it to the church office.
Copies of the 2019 Charge Conference booklet are available at the Connection Center.
