  • On September 21st at 9:50am in the Sanctuary we will take a NEW CONGREGATIONAL PHOTO to hang in the Fellowship Hall  

We encourage 8:30am worshippers to stay late, and our 10:00am worshippers to arrive a little early so we can all gather in the sanctuary and have a photo taken (standing, looking in the direction of the balcony, in the style of some of the previous photos).
Please reach out to me with any questions.
We are looking forward to having a more up to date photo of our beloved church family. 

In Christ’s Peace, Pastor Erin
