New Supscription Option for College Church DVDs!

We now have a subscription option for buying College Church DVDs. For only $25 per month you get a DVD of each week's church service. That averages to just $6.25 each, and only $5 in months when there are five Sabbaths. Here are the details: 

• Just $25 per month for a DVD of each week's service. 
• Your DVDs will be ready much faster, usually by Monday morning.
• You can start or stop subscribing at any time.
• The subscription only covers the weekly Sabbath morning 11:00 service. 

To subscribe, just contact the church office. If the subscription plan isn't right for you, you can still buy single services for $10 each, or $9 each in quantities of 3 or more. Shipping charges still apply to all mailings.
