The Reverend Emily Manvel Leite

There is a Softball Game this Sunday, April 8, at 1:00 p.m.
and a Baseball Game at 3:00 p.m.
Parking May Be Challenging!
We have tacit permission from IU to park on the west side of Fee Lane near the ball fields on Sundays, as long as there is not a ball game in progress. Since there are games this Sunday, we will need to be more creative than usual in our parking choices. Please consider attending the 9:15 service, or carpooling or riding your bike to the 11:15 service if it is a pretty day. Parking on Jordan is also still sometimes available when our lot is full, as well as parking at the tennis courts or at the old Church of God across the bypass.
