If you are a member of the Mt. Olivet Church and would like to be included on the Pastor's email list please email him with your name and email address.
If you have recently moved or changed your telephone number, please call the church office and inform the church secretary so that the membership roster can be updated.
In order to update our church roll all members are asked to visit the display case in front of the main office to make sure that their name is included on the church roster. If you notice that your name or the name of another member is missing, please stop in the office and give that name to the church secretary. If you know that someone is no longer a member of Mt. Olivet please take the time to inform us of that as well.
As you look at the roster please note that some names may appear as active, but they are in fact inactive. As the roster is evaluated those names will be moved to inactive status, or in cases where a significant amount of time has passed and there has been no church attendance or financial support the name will be dropped from the Mt. Olivet Church roll.
As you review the membership roster please know that mistakes can and do happen. If your name is missing or misspelled please do not be offended. It is simply an error that can be corrected with your help. Remember, "to err is human but to forgive is divine."
If you would like a statement of your financial contributions please call the church office (651/227-4444). Statements are only printed upon request and can be picked up in the church office. In order to provide each member with a proper accounting of their giving it is necessary that you print your full name on the envelope and the amount. Please do not use initials or nick names.
