  • NEW!   Pies!  Pies!  Pies!

  • NEW!   Stained glass watching season has started

Each year, on sunny mornings in the fall, the sun will reflect on the trees in front of the church causing the two stained glass windows in the front of the sanctuary to appear to light up. The brilliance of this natural occurrence is best viewed from the front 6-8 pews on the left side of the sanctuary. Be sure to check it out!

  • NEW!   Naomi Circle

Naomi Circle time again! Next Monday, October 20, 12:30 pm, upstairs at the church. Don't forget your lunch. Dessert and hot drinks will be served. After our lunch together, devotions and short meeting, we will be playing bingo. No, not the traditional bingo with numbers. Instead, we will be learning a little more about each other with Life Experience Bingo!

PLEASE RSVP!! Beverly
