A Message From Our Pastor - Fall Schedule Begins

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

This weekend, we move into our Fall Worship Schedule:

            Saturday:        worship at 5:30 p.m. (no change)

            Sunday:          8:15 a.m. – worship             

                                    9:15 a.m. – Rally Day festivities

                                  10:30 a.m. – worship

During all three worship services, we will dedicate new pew Bibles, commission teachers, assistants, musicians and choirs. We will also present new SPARK Bibles to students age 2-grade 6, so parents are encouraged to make sure their children are in worship this weekend! Our Rally Day festivities will include refreshments, games, music, a skit, and an opportunity for students to meet their teachers.
