Communion. December 17
This Sunday, we’ll remember Jesus’ death in our place by partaking of the Lord’s Supper. Please note that there will be no church lunch.
Transition to Two Services.
Praise the Lord for people’s eagerness to hear His Word! Beginning January 7th, there will be two services: 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Pre-K childcare offered both hours, but children's ministry for grades K–6 will be taking a break as we work out the transition.
