Love the Tract Rack? Many, many thanks to Kathleen Fowler who has been lovingly ordering the tracts and organizing them. Kathleen is now looking to pass the baton. If you love spreading the good news and are quite organized, then this would be a cool ministry for you! Please call the church office if you are interested.
