Family Vacation Bible School - Shipwrecked!- Rescued by Jesus! We had such a fun time at vacation Bible school this year! Thank you to all the fun and participation from the families who attended! And a special thank you to David Gerherdt, HeeSun, Colette Furbush, Bobbette Hamilton, Hank Gatlin and our wonderful games leader Will Deley!

A Safety Reminder A reminder that in case there is an emergency on campus, we have an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) located by the stairs in the chancel area of the church, the stairs going down to the choir room. We also have an AED in the main entrance way to the parish hall. If needed, open the box and the directions guide you through but there are many parishioners trained to use it so ask for help!
