Session has called a congregational meeting for Sunday, May 27, 2018 immediately following the 9:30 a.m. worship service, to be held in the sanctuary. This will be a brief congregational meeting to elect a Deacon for the Class of 2021. This position opened up after the annual meeting when one of the Deacon-elect candidates was unable to accept the position.
