Help with the Logo?

The McFarland UCC logo is used in several places. We’d like to use it to be recognized as a sponsor of the Pride in the Park event this year. For this to happen, a vector file is needed. The logo is currently a JPG file. The organizers are beginning to work on signs for the event so we need to get them a vector file soon. Is there anyone willing to work with us in converting or creating a vector file of the logo? If so, please contact Ginger in the office.

Weekly Creation Care Tips -

Reduce/Reuse/Recycle

This week’s Tip: Reuse: Swap your paper towels for washable cloths. Instead of single-use, disposable paper towels & napkins, buy washable cloth napkins that can be used over & over; repurpose old towels or clothing for rags. You will save trees & help to reduce the billions of pounds of non-recyclable paper that ends up in our landfills annually. (conservation.org) At church, we have rags under the kitchen sinks & in the janitor closet that can be used for spills.
