"Share the Good News"
Acts 1:1-11
This Sunday
we will look at the beginning of Acts and talk about Jesus’ ascension into heaven. Before ascending into heaven, Jesus spends 40 days with his disciples teaching them and getting them ready to spread the Good News. This is a job that the disciples were willing to risk everything for. How about you? It is the job of the church today to continue the work that was started by the church long ago. Hope you'll join us.

Did you know that Mark Young would be happy to make a DVD copy of our worship service for you? If you or someone you know can't view worship on Facebook or on our church website but has a DVD player, this may be the perfect option for them. Just let Mark, Michelle, Pastor Meggan, or Pastor Luke know, and they will make sure we get a copy to you.

Safer at Home
Our Session voted during their meeting last Monday that we would continue to practice "Safer at Home" and that no groups, ministries, or in-person worship will take place continuing
through June
. A task force has been formed and charged with creating protocols and steps to prepare for the re-opening of our church when it is safe to do so. Click
