On Sunday September 12th (weather permitting) we will have a Fall Kickoff Celebration in the pavilion following worship. Being outdoors allows us to join in fellowship and a meal. The church will provide hotdogs and buns and we ask that those who would like to join us please bring their own place setting, beverages and a dish to pass.
If you have any backyard games (can-jam, ladder ball, etc) and would like to set those up, that would be welcomed as well.
Children's church will begin during worship that day and we will also begin to offer Nursery care that Sunday. Please reach out to family and friends that have children and invite them to join us!
