Join us for worship!!! Each Sunday, we offer two worship services at 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. All are invited! We will begin our summer worship schedule, with only one service at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 25. The last day of Sunday School is May 18th.
- Our group of 10 youth and 4 adults are leaving on Saturday, June 14, for Breathitt County, Kentucky, to live out Appalachia’s Service Project’s mission of making homes in this depressed area “warmer, safer and drier.” In support of this mission, we will be distributing the names of each participant and the address of the center we will be traveling to during worship on Sunday, June 8, the week prior to our departure. We will be asking the congregation to simply keep those people in their prayers during our ASP week.
- This year our Vacation Bible School will take place during the week of July 28 through August 1. Mark your calendars now! This year we will discover the power of Jesus through a science-themed VBS week.
