The class will begin following the second service and lunch will be served. Questions or just need more information please contact Pastor Rachael.

4. Office Hours
Leann will be taking Monday off to rest from the Room Revolution so the office will be closed.


WORSHIP
Let Us Know...
Please be sure to fill out a Connect Card each week to let us know you were at church and how the staff can be praying for you. If you attend the first service drop it in the offering plate as it goes by. If you attend the second service you can put the Connect Card in the offering boxes at the back of the Sanctuary. You can also sign-up for Wednesday Night Supper that way. For those of you who regularly fill them out - THANK YOU!

Be sure to check the bulletin for the question of the week.
