Children's Worship Service
On Sunday, Nov. 12th, our
children
will help lead us in both worship services serving as readers, ushers, singers, bell ringers, communion servers, and prayers. You will want to be there to support them as they learn to become the Body of Christ with us.
We will also be honoring our
Veterans
that day, so this will be a wonderful inter-generational worship experience for us all!
All vets are invited to arrive in Grand Hall at 9:30 a.m. for a group photo to be taken and to receive a special ribbon to wear.
There will be a special presentation in worship and a reception to honor our vets following late worship.
