Changes are Coming
At the January 13th meeting, our Church Council unanimously approved a plan to return to one worship service beginning March 1st and changing the time of our Sunday School to 9:30am and the Worship Service to 10:30am. This change will provide the opportunity for individuals who might find a 9:30am start time for Sunday School more inviting!
